Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal constitutional complaint was admissible despite the absence of a current practical interest.
Decisão extraída
The complaint remained admissible because the issue could recur under similar circumstances, had general importance, and timely review would otherwise hardly ever be possible.
Fundamentação extraída
The underlying criminal trial had already ended, but the Court applied the exception to the current-interest requirement for issues capable of repetition yet evading review.
