The Court of Appeal dismissed the defense's partial appeal regarding the excessive sentence and upheld the first-instance judgment. The defendant argued for a lighter penalty, but the court found no grounds to alter the conviction or the imposed punishment. Consequently, the state was ordered to cover the costs of the appointed defense lawyer, while the defendant was exempted from paying the appeal proceedings expenses.
