The appellate court modified the first-instance judgment by increasing the daily fine to 200 units and ordering compensation for damages and pain and suffering. The defendant argued that the legal qualification of the assault was incorrect, while the prosecution contended the facts supported the conviction. The court rejected the appeal on the merits but found procedural errors regarding the calculation of defense costs, leading to a partial modification of the sentence.
