The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeals filed by the defendant, defense counsel, and the supplementary prosecutor against the first-instance judgment. The court found the appeals based on legal errors and factual mistakes to be baseless, noting no grounds for changing the conviction or sentence. Consequently, the original verdict was upheld in full, and the defendant was ordered to pay the court costs for the second instance.
