Who Can Appeal the Judgment Issued by the Court Based on the Public Prosecutor’s Request?

The Serial Trial Procedure is a special judicial method that allows the investigation phase of certain crimes to be completed quickly. In this procedure, the suspect’s consent declaration is crucial and must be personally confirmed before the court. Therefore, the suspect’s attendance at the hearing is mandatory. So, what happens if the suspect fails to appear at the hearing without a valid excuse?

Who Can Appeal the Judgment in the Expedited Trial Procedure?

In the expedited trial procedure, only the following persons can file an appeal against the judgment:

1. Public Prosecutor

The prosecutor has the right to appeal if they consider the court's decision insufficient, erroneous, or procedurally incorrect.

2. Suspect

The suspect may exercise the right to appeal against the judgment, even if they previously expressed acceptance during the hearing.

3. Suspect’s Defense Attorney

The defense attorney can also appeal on behalf of the suspect.
The attorney’s appeal directly protects the suspect’s rights.

Who Cannot Appeal?

  • Victim
  • Persons harmed by the crime
  • Their legal representatives or guardians

These persons cannot appeal against the expedited trial judgment.
Due to the structure of this procedure, the decision is reviewable only by the suspect and the public prosecutor.
