Questão jurídica principal
Whether the prosecution could appeal the first-instance decision on ex officio defense fees by way of appeal rather than complaint.
Decisão extraída
The amount of ex officio defense compensation forms part of the judgment and must be challenged by appeal; complaint is subsidiary.
Fundamentação extraída
The legislator assigned the fee decision to the trying court within the judgment. Because cost allocation is part of the merits judgment, parties may attack it by appeal under the ordinary rules; complaint is reserved for the defense counsel's own challenge to the amount of compensation.
