Appeal court reduced probation period and ordered damages for theft while upholding conviction.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court modified the first-instance judgment by shortening the probation period to two years and ordering the defendant to pay damages to the victim. The defense successfully argued that the initial finding of stolen goods was factually incorrect, leading the court to remove that specific determination. Consequently, the conviction for theft was upheld, but the sentencing and civil liability components were adjusted based on the corrected facts.
