Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal met the statutory motivation requirements.
Extracted holding
No. The written submissions did not precisely identify the challenged points, the reasons for a different decision, or the evidence relied upon.
Extracted reasoning
Under Arts. 396(1) and 385(1) CPP, an appeal must be reasoned; if the deficient appeal is not cured within the additional time granted, the appellate court must not enter into the matter. The appellant's letters remained too general and did not contain proper reasons for a different outcome.
