The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against the first-instance conviction for theft, finding no merit in the procedural arguments raised. The defendant argued that the lower court erred in applying procedural rules, but the appellate court found no such error affecting the verdict. Consequently, the conviction was upheld, and the defendant was ordered to pay court costs and the victim's legal fees.
