The Supreme Court of Justice admitted the appeal against a dismissal order declaring the accused amnesty and extinguishing the criminal proceedings. The prosecution argued the dismissal was merely a procedural act, while the defense contended it constituted a final judgment requiring review. The court ruled that because the dismissal was issued by a collective tribunal after deliberation in court, it functions as a final judgment and is therefore appealable.

SUMÁRIO

Admite recurso para o Supremo o denominado "despacho" que declarou amnistiados os crimes imputados ao arguido e declarou extinto o procedimento criminal, com o consequente arquivamento dos autos, se tal "despacho" foi proferido pelo presidente de tribunal colectivo, após deliberação deste, em audiência de julgamento, já que, do que verdadeiramente se trata, é de acórdão final proferido por tribunal colectivo.
