Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal appeal was filed in time despite summer judicial vacation rules
Decisão extraída
No. In pretrial detention matters the vacation suspension did not apply; the 15 September 2008 submission was late.
Fundamentação extraída
The 30-day deadline ran from 26 July 2008 to 25 August 2008. Earlier letters preserved the challenge, but they did not contain the required appeal grounds.
