The appellate court dismissed the defense's appeal against the first-instance criminal judgment, upholding the conviction under Article 284 of the Criminal Code. The defense argued procedural errors, but the court found no grounds to alter the substantive ruling. Consequently, the court adjusted the financial aspects by ordering the defendant to pay court costs while exempting the state-funded defender from fees.
