The Court of Appeal quashed the first-instance judgment regarding the factual characterization of the crime's severity and the legal qualification. The prosecution appealed, arguing the lower court incorrectly classified the incident as a minor case under Art. 283 kk instead of a standard offense under Art. 280 § 1 kk. The court found the lower court's factual finding that the incident constituted a minor case erroneous, necessitating a new trial on the specific circumstances to determine the correct legal classification.
