Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a first-instance conviction for selling stolen abrasive discs. The defendant argued that the court arbitrarily evaluated witness testimony and failed to explain why certain statements were deemed credible, while the prosecution presented witness accounts and purchase receipts as proof of guilt. The appellate court rejected these claims, finding the evidence sufficient and the defendant's arguments to be mere speculation lacking factual basis.
