Court modifies sentence for negligent child injury by confirming facts but reducing penalty due to procedural errors.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court modified the first-instance judgment regarding a defendant who negligently injured his intoxicated daughter. While the court upheld the finding that the defendant dropped the child from a height, it acknowledged procedural flaws in the lower court's assessment of intoxication levels. Consequently, the court reduced the criminal penalty while ordering the state to cover legal costs for the minor's guardian.
