The Tribunal da Relação do Porto confirmed the appealed sentence, upholding the lower court's authority to determine facts. Although all evidence was reduced to writing, the collective tribunal retained the power to form its own conviction on material facts. The court ruled that this judicial discretion remains valid even when the evidentiary record is condensed.
