Questão jurídica principal
Whether the prosecution's cross-appeal was admissible despite asking for 'at least 12 years' imprisonment.
Decisão extraída
The cross-appeal was inadmissible because the prosecution did not seek a change of the first-instance judgment and therefore lacked a legally protected interest.
Fundamentação extraída
An appellant must request an amendment of the judgment. Saying that 12 years is still acceptable does not amount to seeking modification, even if the worsening prohibition no longer applied.
