Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cassation appeal was admissible under the pre-LTF procedural regime and satisfied the pleading requirements of the Penal Procedure Act.
Decisão extraída
The appeal did not allege any violation of federal law and therefore failed to meet the formal requirements for cassation review.
Fundamentação extraída
Because the challenged judgment predated 1 January 2007, the old federal procedure applied. Under Art. 269 and 273 PP, the appellant had to identify the challenged points and explain the federal-law violations; his brief letter merely expressed disagreement with the conviction.
