AI generated

The appellate court dismissed the victim's appeal against the first-instance acquittal of the defendant for property damage. The victim argued that the court erred in assessing witness credibility and failed to find intent to destroy the phone, while the defendant claimed the incident was accidental. The court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the principles of objective investigation and free evaluation of evidence, concluding that the evidence supported an accidental fall rather than intentional destruction.
