Legislator summary

AI generated

The Constitutional Court declared inadmissible the appeal filed by Jordi Llonch Riera against a criminal conviction for insult. The appellant argued that the conviction violated his right to the presumption of innocence because the only evidence was a single witness testimony, which he claimed was insufficient to establish guilt. The court rejected this argument, ruling that the witness testimony was legally admissible and relevant to the case, thereby negating the claim of indefensión.
