The appellate court upheld the first-instance judgment against the defendant regarding the conviction but modified the sentence by waiving court costs due to the defendant's difficult material situation. The defendant appealed the partial sentence, citing factual errors and disproportionate punishment under Articles 438(3) and 438(4) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court rejected the appeal on the merits but exercised discretion to exempt the defendant from costs under Article 624(1) in conjunction with Article 634 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
