Criminal judgments. Are not subject to challenge by a petition for reconsideration. The basis therefor. Recourse in this regard to the Civil and Commercial Procedure Code to fill any gap in the Criminal Procedure Code. Impermissible. The rationale therefor: such recourse is valid to assist in implementing certain criminal rules, but does not extend to creating a means of appeal unknown to criminal legislation. The challenged judgment's adherence to this view. Correct.
