Questão jurídica principal
Whether the trial court violated the indictment principle by convicting on a factual version not contained in the indictment
Decisão extraída
No. The indictment was broad enough as to time, place, and motive to cover the version found proven by the trial court, and the differences were immaterial for the legal qualification as murder.
Fundamentação extraída
The indictment did not limit itself to the prosecution's preferred scenario; it allowed for a time window and location range broad enough to include the court's version. The accused's defence rights were therefore not impaired.
