The District Court in Siedlce partially upheld the defendant's appeal against the first-instance judgment, modifying the sentence to one year and two months imprisonment with a 200 daily fine. The defendant argued for acquittal based on procedural errors and factual inaccuracies, while the prosecution maintained the conviction for theft under Article 279 of the Criminal Code. The court found the original sentencing excessive and the factual findings insufficient to support the harsher penalty, thus reducing the term while upholding the conviction.
