Court convicted defendant of intentional property damage under Art. 288 § 1 kk, rejecting defense's Art. 279 § 1 kk argument.

The court convicted the defendant of intentional property damage under Article 288 § 1 of the Criminal Code, rejecting the prosecution's charge under Article 279 § 1. The defendant argued for a lighter classification, but the court found the facts of scratching the car's paint and causing specific financial loss met the elements of the heavier offense. Consequently, the court imposed a one-year probation period while exempting the defendant from court costs due to their financial situation.
