The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the criminal appeal filed by the defendant. The court found that the lower court's decision lacked the mandatory motivation required by Article 412, Paragraph 2, of the Criminal Procedure Code, which demands specific elements be highlighted in the reasoning. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed because the absence of this statutory motivation rendered the decision procedurally flawed and insufficient for review.
