Key legal question
Whether the victims had standing to bring a nullity appeal as LAVI victims affecting civil claims.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the appellants had not asserted civil claims on the merits in the criminal proceedings and did not explain why this was impossible.
Extracted reasoning
Under art. 270 let. e ch. 1 PPF, a victim may appeal only if already a party and if the judgment affects civil claims. Merely reserving rights is not enough; when no civil conclusions were taken, the victim must explain the omission, especially why the damage was not yet established or could not be quantified. No such explanation was given.
