Can a First-Instance Criminal Judgment Be Subject to Appeal?
Based on Clause 1, Article 27 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2015, the regulations are as follows:
The regime of first-instance and appellate trial is guaranteed.
The first-instance judgments and decisions of the Court can be appealed and protested according to the provisions of this Code. First-instance judgments and decisions that are not appealed or protested within the time limit prescribed by this Code shall take legal effect.
First-instance judgments and decisions that are appealed or protested must be tried in an appellate trial. Appellate judgments and decisions of the Court have legal effect.
Thus, a first-instance decision can be appealed as stipulated by the Criminal Procedure Code 2015.
