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.
