English translation of the principle

The trial court's doubt as to the correctness of attributing the charge to the accused suffices for acquittal where it has comprehensively and insightfully considered the case, weighed the evidence of guilt and exculpation, and based its decision on reasons that sustain it. - The judgment's finding that the inquiries are unsupported and uncorroborated by evidence, that the case is devoid of any indications or presumptions necessarily leading to the respondent's commission of the offense attributed to him, and its confidence in the basis of the respondent's defense and his denial of the charge. The Public Prosecution's challenge to it in this respect is inadmissible. 5- Reasoning of the appellate judgment:- - See: Challenging judgments (appeal). 6- Reasoning of the death sentence:-
