Legislator summary
AI generatedThe second-instance court dismissed the defense's appeal as inadmissible under Article 340(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act. Although the court agreed that the excluded expert opinions were not inherently inadmissible, it ruled that the first-instance decision to exclude them was a procedural ruling subject to specific appeal rules. The court held that such procedural rulings can only be challenged via appeal against a final judgment, not as a standalone appeal, thereby rejecting the appellant's request for immediate review.

Pritožba zagovornika obdolženega B. L. se zavrže kot nedovoljena.
[JEDRO]
Pritožbeno sodišče se sicer strinja z navedbami pritožnika, da strokovno mnenje izvedenca V. K. in odgovori na njegove zaključke izvedenca J. P. ne predstavljajo nedovoljenih dokazov, ki bi jih bilo treba izločiti in da gre v konkretnem primeru zgolj za izvajanje pravice obdolženca, da navaja dejstva in predlaga dokaze, ki mu utegnejo koristiti, vendar je moralo drugostopno sodišče pritožbo kljub temu zavreči kot nedovoljeno na podlagi 4. odst. 340. člena ZKP. Na podlagi istega določila bo lahko pritožnik enake razloge uveljavljal v morebitni pritožbi zoper sodbo.

Sodišče prve stopnje je z uvodoma navedenim sklepom iz kazenskega spisa opr. št. K 13/2005 izločilo analizo prometne nezgode V. K., "sodnega izvedenca" za prometno stroko, na list. št. 124 in 125 ter odgovore na njegove zaključke J. P., sodnega izvedenca za prometno stroko, na list. št. 129 do 131. Odločilo je tudi, da se bodo navedene listine po pravnomočnosti sklepa zaprle v poseben ovitek in izročile preiskovalnemu sodniku, ki ga bo hranil ločeno od drugih spisov.
Zoper sklep se je pravočasno pritožil zagovornik obdolženca zaradi kršitve določb kazenskega postopka in predlagal, da se izpodbijani sklep razveljavi.
Pritožba ni dovoljena.
Iz razlogov izpodbijanega sklepa izhaja, da je sodišče prve stopnje iz kazenskega spisa opr. št. K 13/2005 izločilo listine št. 124, 125 ter 129 do 131, ker je menilo, da postopek dopolnitve izvedenskega mnenja sodnega izvedenca J. P. ni bil izveden skladno z določili ZKP. Ugotovilo je tudi, da izločena dokaza sama po sebi nista nedovoljena, sta pa to postala zaradi načina izvedbe. Sodišče prve stopnje je na koncu navedenega sklepa dalo tudi pravni pouk o pravici do pritožbe v roku treh dni na Višje sodišče v Ljubljani.
4. odst. 340. člena Zakona o kazenskem postopku (ZKP) določa, da pred koncem dokaznega postopka izda senat po uradni dolžnosti ali na predlog strank sklep, s katerim izloči iz spisov zapisnike in druge dokaze, na katere se po določbah ZKP ne sme opirati sodna odločba. Sklep, s katerim je bilo odločeno o izločitvi zapisnikov in drugih dokazov, pa se sme izpodbijati le s pritožbo zoper sodbo.
