Polish court overturns ostrich abuse conviction due to neo-judge ruling

A Polish court overturned the prison sentence of Łukasz S. for animal abuse because the original verdict was issued by a 'neo-judge'—a controversial appointee under the previous government's judicial reforms. The case is remanded for retrial, highlighting ongoing legal uncertainty in Poland's justice system. This is part of a broader pattern of verdicts being invalidated due to judicial appointment disputes.
