Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by the defense lawyers on behalf of two defendants convicted of theft and fraud. The defendants argued for a change in the first-instance judgment based on alleged procedural errors and factual mistakes, while the prosecution did not intervene. The court rejected these claims, finding no grounds to alter the original verdict, and consequently ruled that the state must cover the defendants' legal costs.
