Questão jurídica principal
Whether the objection could be deemed withdrawn after the accused failed to attend the interrogation summoned by the prosecution.
Decisão extraída
No. A deemed withdrawal requires actual knowledge of the summons and the consequences of non-appearance; mere non-collection of the registered letter was insufficient here.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that the objection right is essential and that a withdrawal fiction may only apply where the accused knowingly and intentionally forgoes review. Because she had no knowledge of the summons, her absence could not be treated as a conscious waiver.
