Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible despite lacking conclusions and a reasoned memorandum within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
No. A bare declaration of appeal without reasons must be followed by a motivated memorandum within ten days after service of the judgment; none was filed, so the appeal was manifestly inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 425 CPP, the appellant had to cure the missing motivation after receiving the judgment copy. Because no supplementary memorandum was filed in time, the court could not enter into the appeal and had to reject it prejudicially under Art. 431 para. 1 CPP.
