The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, ruling that the case was already judged within the specific limits of the final decision. The appellant argued that the reasoning and procedural grounds of the original sentence should also be considered part of the concluded case. The court rejected this, emphasizing that the principle of res judicata applies strictly to the operative part of the judgment, excluding the underlying arguments.
