The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court's decision to exclude evidence of a threat made during court proceedings. The appellant argued that the threat constituted a serious violation of their rights, but the court found the procedural grounds for the exclusion insufficient. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the lower court correctly applied the rules regarding the admissibility of such evidence.
