Background

The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for one year and eight months.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation.
