Appeal court partially allowed appeal, upholding sentence while awarding defense lawyer fees and ordering defendant to pay costs.

The Warsaw Court of Appeal upheld the first-instance sentence against the defendant while awarding the state-appointed defense lawyer fees and ordering the defendant to pay court costs. The defendant appealed claiming excessive punishment under Article 438(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, but the appellate court found no grounds to change the conviction or penalty. Consequently, the court rejected the appeal on the merits but ruled in favor of the defense counsel regarding their remuneration.
