Appeal court upheld conviction but ordered reduction of combined sentence by adding detention period.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appeal court upheld the first-instance conviction for assault but modified the sentence by adding the defendant's detention time to the combined penalty. The defendant argued that the victim's credibility was doubtful and that the assault charge was factually incorrect, yet the court found no sufficient grounds to overturn the factual findings. Consequently, the court rejected the appeal's request to change the conviction but granted the request to adjust the total sentence duration.
