Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal nullity appeal could raise arbitrariness, denial of justice, presumption of innocence, and equality complaints
Decisão extraída
These constitutional complaints were inadmissible in a nullity appeal and could only be raised by constitutional complaint; the appeal could be examined only for violations of federal criminal law.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 269(1) BStP limits the nullity appeal to federal law. The appellant’s criticisms were directed at constitutional rights and at evidence assessment, which fall outside that remedy.
