Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Court of Appeal dismissed the prosecutor's appeal against the first-instance acquittal of the defendants. The prosecution argued that the court erred in factually establishing that the defendants did not endanger the child's life during the first trimester of pregnancy. The court rejected this claim, noting that the first-instance judgment correctly found no evidence supporting the elements of the crime under Article 160 § 2 of the Criminal Code.
