Supreme Court dismisses appeal against rejection of second retrial request due to prior final ruling. The judge who rejected the first retrial is not barred from hearing the second appeal.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a lower court's decision to reject a second request for retrial. The appellant argued that the judge who previously rejected the first retrial request was improperly excluded from hearing this new appeal. The court clarified that the term 'previous proceedings' in the relevant statute refers only to the initial trial, not to a prior retrial request that was already final. Consequently, the judge was not barred from ruling on the admissibility of this second retrial request, and the appeal was rejected because the matter had already been conclusively decided by a final judgment on the retrial.
