The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the criminal appeal because the lower court's decision lacked the required reasoning. The appellant argued for a review of the conviction, but the court found no substantive grounds to examine the case without a motivated ruling. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed solely on the procedural defect of missing justification as mandated by law.
