The District Court in Siedlce partially overturned the lower court's decision, commuting the defendant's sentence from imprisonment to community service. The defendant, M. G., was convicted of assaulting police officers and using threats during an intervention, arguing for a lighter penalty. The appellate court found the facts established guilt but deemed the original custodial sentence disproportionate, thus applying a suspended community service penalty instead.
