Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal was admissible despite seeking only remittal.
Decisão extraída
A remittal-only request was sufficient here because the Supreme Court could not itself reform the sentence in an exercise of discretion; the appeal was admissible.
Fundamentação extraída
In criminal matters the appeal is generally reformative, but a purely cassatory outcome is appropriate where additional fact-finding or discretionary reassessment is needed.
