Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible despite no statement of appeal being filed within the statutory deadline.
Decisão extraída
No. Because the appellant failed to file the required written statement of appeal within 20 days after service of the reasoned judgment, the appeal was inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 399(3) and Art. 403(1)(a) CPP, a timely appeal announcement and statement of appeal are mandatory admissibility conditions examined ex officio. The appellant did not comply with the 20-day deadline set by the first-instance court.
