Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court upheld the first-instance judgment regarding the defendant's guilt and the main sentence for insult. While the defendant argued the compensatory measure was excessively harsh, the court found no factual error but acknowledged the disproportionality of the specific compensation amount. Consequently, the court maintained the conviction while ordering a reduction of the compensatory measure to align with the severity of the offense.
