The appellate court partially allowed the appeal filed by the defense on behalf of two defendants, ordering a change of the first-instance verdict. The defendants argued that the lower court committed procedural errors under Article 7 of the Criminal Procedure Code by arbitrarily evaluating witness testimony and failed to address specific factual issues. Consequently, the court modified the original sentence, replacing imprisonment with a five-month term of unpaid community service for each defendant.
