AI generated

The Constitutional Court declared inadmissible the appeal filed by a convicted rapist against his final criminal judgments. The petitioner argued that the proceedings violated his right to defense and judicial review under Article 24.2 of the Constitution. The Court rejected these claims, holding that the lower courts' assessment of evidence and the absence of specific procedural defects rendered the appeal without merit.
