English translation of the principle

It being established that the judgment did not rely on a confession by the appellant. The phrases quoted by the judgment from the investigation officer do not in themselves constitute a confession in its legal meaning, and the judgment did not rely on them as a confession by the appellant in the arrest report, as he alleged in the grounds of his appeal. Criticism of the judgment in this respect. Incorrect.
Arabic original
ثبوت أن الحكم لم يعول على اعتراف للطاعن. العبارات التي نقلها الحكم عن ضابط المباحث لا تنهض بذاتها اعترافاً بمعناه القانوني وعدم تعويل الحكم عليها بحسبانها اعترافاً للطاعن بمحضر الضبط كما زعم بأسباب طعنه. تعييب الحكم في هذا الخصوص. غير صحيح.
