The judgment's confused conception of the elements of the incident and its failure to settle sufficiently for it to have the status of fact, making it impossible for the Court of Cassation to ascertain on what basis the trial - 417 - Criminal Procedures and Trials court formed its conviction in the case. It vitiates it through incoherence and contradiction in its reasons. Example. - The ground of appeal on which cassation of the judgment was based extending to another convicted person whose appeal was ruled to have lapsed and who was a party to the appellate proceedings. Effect thereof. Cassation of the judgment in his respect also. Basis thereof.
