Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court quashed the first-instance verdict imposing a combined sentence on the defendant J.B. because the prosecution failed to conduct a main trial or a full evidentiary hearing. The prosecutor argued the agreed-upon sentence violated Article 86 of the Criminal Code, while the defense contested the procedural flaws. The court ruled that without a main trial, the defendant's right to defense and the victim's rights were infringed, necessitating a remand for a proper proceeding.
