Portuguese Supreme Court rejects appeal for lack of motivation when the defendant fails to present the request timely.

The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the criminal appeal filed by the defendant, who argued the lower court lacked sufficient reasoning. The defendant failed to formally request the specific remedy of 'lack of motivation' within the strict procedural deadlines established by law. Consequently, the court held that the appeal was inadmissible because the procedural prerequisite for raising this defect was not met.
