For the second time, the appellate court overturns the court verdict, which does not refer to the law that could have been violated. A person filing an appeal asks which law and whose right he/she has violated, which the state recognizes as a criminal offender.
It seems that it is with such strong-willed decisions that the real judicial reform will begin, when judges have the courage to destroy the Soviet tradition. We publish the text in full.
ORDERED:
Appeals of the prosecutor and the accused PERSON_2 against the verdict of the Ternopil City District Court of Ternopil region. dated March 30, 2017. to satisfy in part.

As we know, tradition is stronger than the law, so judges who defend the law contrary to the Soviet tradition deserve special gratitude.
