The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the criminal appeal because the request for filing it was not accompanied by the required motivation. Although the appellant submitted the reasoning after the initial declaration but within the statutory deadline, the court held that such post-declaration motivation renders the appeal inadmissible. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed unanimously to enforce the strict requirement that criminal appeals must be motivated at the time of filing.
