Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite lacking reasons and conclusions.
No. A bare notice of appeal without a reasoned brief filed within ten days is manifestly inadmissible and must be set aside preliminarily.
Under Art. 425 CPP, a party who files only a notice of appeal without reasons must submit a reasoned brief within ten days after receiving the judgment. That was not done, and counsel's later statement that she was no longer the appellant's lawyer had no bearing on the lapse.
