Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public law appeal was admissible despite the availability of a federal nullity appeal for non-constitutional criminal-law complaints.
Decisão extraída
The appeal was admissible only insofar as it raised constitutional complaints not available by nullity appeal; other arguments were inadmissible.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 84(2) OJ, public law appeal is subsidiary. Complaints about incorrect application of Arts. 19 and 20 CP could have been raised by nullity appeal and were therefore excluded.
