The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by the subsidiary prosecutor against the first-instance judgment. The prosecutor argued procedural errors under articles 438(2) and 438(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, claiming they could affect the verdict's content. The court found these objections baseless, as the first-instance court correctly applied the law and facts, leading to the maintenance of the original sentence. Consequently, the court ordered the prosecutor to reimburse the defendant's defense costs and bear the appeal proceedings expenses.
