The Court of Appeal dismissed the defense's appeal against the first-instance criminal judgment, ruling that the original verdict must stand. The defense argued for a change in the sentence based on alleged factual errors and disproportionate punishment, but the appellate court found no grounds to overturn the lower court's findings. Consequently, the court upheld the original sentence while awarding state funds to the appointed defense attorney.
