The appellate court dismissed the defense's appeal, upholding the first-instance judgment which acquitted the defendant on two counts but convicted him on two others. The defendant argued that witness testimonies were unreliable and that the court erred in fact-finding regarding dog ownership and noise disturbances. The court rejected these claims, noting the defendant admitted to the dog incident and that the witness statements, while based on assumptions, were consistent with the defendant's own admissions during the trial.
