Supreme Court denies appeal, ruling it lacks power to censor lower courts on police attendance necessity.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the criminal appeal unanimously, holding that it lacks the authority to review lower court decisions regarding the necessity of police attendance. The appellant argued that the police officer who took charge of the incident should have been heard, but the court found no legal basis to override the lower tribunal's discretion. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the Supreme Court's jurisdiction is limited to specific statutory grounds and does not extend to censoring factual or procedural determinations made by inferior instances.

SUMÁRIO
O Supremo Tribunal de Justiça so conhece de direito (artigo 666 do Codigo de Processo Penal de 1929), não podendo exercer censura sobre o entendimento das instancias no sentido de não ser indispensavel a audição do agente da Policia de Segurança Publica que tomara conta da ocorrencia.
