The appellate court upheld the first-instance judgment against the defendant while ordering the state to pay the defense lawyer's fees. The prosecutor and the defendant's legal representative appealed, citing procedural errors and factual mistakes under the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court found no merit in the appeals regarding the conviction but recognized the procedural violations concerning court costs, leading to a split decision on financial liabilities.
