Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn appellant, convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to two years imprisonment, appealed on the grounds that their rights of defense were violated, specifically referencing Article 513 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal because the appellate ruling explicitly stated that the appellant was afforded the opportunity to speak last, as required by Article 513, and was assisted by counsel, thus satisfying the requirements for the exercise of the rights of defense, and the judgment itself was procedurally sound.
