The Court of Appeal acquitted defendant A. C. of theft charges, overturning the first-instance verdict that found him guilty. While the first-instance court had convicted A. C. and imposed a fine on co-defendants P. M. and M. T., the appellate court found insufficient evidence to sustain the conviction against A. C. regarding the specific facts alleged. Consequently, the court set aside the judgment against A. C. but maintained the conviction and penalty against the other two defendants.
