Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the criminal appeal, ruling that a generic allegation of unproven facts does not constitute nullity under Article 379(a) of the 1987 Code of Criminal Procedure. The court clarified that an obvious error in evidence appraisal, as defined in Article 410(2)(c), only occurs when a decision draws a logically unacceptable conclusion from a fact deemed proven. Consequently, the appeal failed because the lower court's reasoning did not meet the strict threshold for such an error.

SUMÁRIO

I - A alusão genérica à matéria de facto não provada, considerando-a como tal, não integra a nulidade do artigo

379 alínea a), ref. ao artigo 374 n. 2 do CPP87.

II - O erro notório na apreciação da prova, a que alude o artigo 410 n. 2 alínea c) do citado Código, tem de resultar do texto da decisão recorrida, acontecendo quando se retira de um facto dado como provado uma conclusão logicamente inaceitável.
