The appellate court partially upheld the first-instance judgment by modifying the defendant's sentence and costs. The defendant appealed the conviction for theft and the imposed penalty, arguing procedural errors and excessive fines. The court found the original prison term inappropriate and substituted it with a daily fine, while also reducing the outstanding fines and shifting the burden of defense costs to the state.
