Appeal court reduced combined sentence to four years due to excessive disproportionality of the original penalty.

The Court of Appeal in Jelenia Góra partially revoked the first-instance judgment, reducing the defendant's combined sentence from six years to four years. The defendant and his defense lawyer appealed, arguing that the original penalty was excessively disproportionate under Article 438, paragraph 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court agreed that the sentence was unreasonably high relative to the crime and modified the ruling accordingly while upholding the remainder of the judgment.
