AI generated

The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against a joint sentence from the District Court in Łuków, ruling that the first-instance judgment must stand. The defendant argued for a change in the penalty, citing potential factual errors and disproportionate sentencing, but the appellate court found these claims baseless. Consequently, the court determined that the original verdict was legally sound and the defendant would bear the costs of the appeal proceedings.
