Whether the criminal appeal satisfied the written-form requirement under Art. 396(1) CPP despite lacking the appellant's original signature.
The appeal did not comply with the written-form requirement because the original signature was missing; the filing was therefore inadmissible.
Art. 396(1) CPP requires a written and signed appeal. For security reasons, the court requires an original signature. The signatures in the file did not match the signature on the appeal, showing that the appellant had not signed the filing himself.
