Questão jurídica principal
Whether the nullity complaint could seek more than annulment and rely on prior pleadings and constitutional complaints.
Decisão extraída
The complaint is purely cassatory on guilt and sentence; prior pleadings cannot replace the required written reasoning, and constitutional grievances are not admissible in this procedure.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the federal nullity complaint only examines violations of federal law, not constitutional rights, and that the brief itself must contain the reasoning. New facts and attacks on factual findings are inadmissible.
