The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the appeal regarding the admissibility of documentary evidence. The court held that all non-written testimonies must be examined orally during the judgment hearing rather than read publicly. Consequently, the request to read documents was denied as it contradicts the mandatory oral examination of evidence in the Portuguese penal procedure.

SUMÁRIO

I - O nosso sistema processual penal determina a incorporação no processo, ou a apensação, de todos os meios de prova que tenham interesse para a sua solução.

II - Todas as provas, não correspondentes à redução a escrito de depoimentos ou declarações de intervenientes no processo, são "examinadas" no julgamento sem haver lugar à sua leitura pública.
