Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the criminal procedure must be declared extinguished because the offense of simple bodily injuries had been pardoned. The prosecution appealed this decision, arguing for judicial review of the pardon's validity. The court held that since the pardon legally terminated the criminal liability, the appeal is inadmissible and the court must abstain from examining the merits.
