Questão jurídica principal
Whether X. had standing to raise constitutional complaints in the private prosecution for assault
Decisão extraída
As the alleged victim of only minor bodily interference in the assault proceeding, X. lacked standing to challenge the acquittal on the merits by constitutional complaint, but could still invoke procedural rights amounting to a formal denial of justice.
Fundamentação extraída
A private prosecutor is generally not entitled to attack an acquittal on the merits by constitutional complaint; only procedural violations such as denial of the right to be heard may be raised. Here, the alleged conduct did not amount to a qualifying victim position under the Victims Assistance Act.
