Questão jurídica principal
Whether the victim relatives had a constitutional or Convention-based right to appeal the conviction and sentence despite the accused's conviction
Decisão extraída
They had no enforceable right to a second-level criminal appeal in these circumstances; access to a court and the right to a double instance were not violated.
Fundamentação extraída
They had already been heard by an independent and impartial court at first instance; the right to a second criminal instance protects the convicted person, not the victims' relatives; Article 13 ECHR did not help because no Convention violation against them was shown.
