Appeal against sentence for aggravated theft dismissed; prosecutor increased one defendant's sentence due to disproportionate penalty claim.

The appellate court dismissed the prosecutor's appeal against the first-instance verdict for both defendants but increased the sentence for one defendant from 12 months to 1 year and 6 months. The prosecutor argued that the original sentence was disproportionately low given the circumstances of the aggravated theft, while the defense contested this assessment. The court accepted the claim of disproportionate penalty for the specific defendant but upheld the original judgment for the other, resulting in a partial modification of the ruling.
