b) created the judgment appeals recourse so that all judgments and dismissals issued in the trial phase are appealable.6 The appeals recourse “would enable the complete examination of the judgment when the interested party disagrees with the facts established, the incorporation and evaluation of evidence, the legal foundation or the drawing up of the sentence. The High Court will pronounce the points that are explicitly questioned, as well as stating, even ex officio, the absolute defects and violations of due process found in the judgment.”7 Also, Law No. 8.837 provides for a reduced number of reasons for inadmissibility of judgment appeals recourses as well as stating that the procedure must be resolved even when defects exist in its drafting. If such defects were to completely impede that the claim be heard, the Tribunal of Appeal may act so that the party rectify them, pointing out the aspects that must be clarified and corrected.8 Regarding evidence in the Tribunal of Appeal, it provides that, “[for] a full review of the trial or sentence issued by the trial court, through the judgment appeals recourse, the Tribunal, at the request of the party, will have the power to examine the record of evidence presented at the trial, as long as it is necessary, pertinent and useful for the goals of the appeal, the object of the case or for the verification of an offense. The same procedure would be applied with everything the accused says.” Also, Law 8.837 states that regarding testimony evidence and expert witnesses that, exceptionally, it shall be given directly before the Tribunal of Appeal, as well as in circumstances under which certain evidence can be considered to be new. Additionally, it provides for the possibility for said Tribunal of Appeal to use the available documentation system, so as to more readily monitor what happened in the trial court.9 The Tribunal of Appeal would determine the legality and grounds of the claims made during the appeal proceedings, so as to assess that the way the trail judges weighed the evidence and on what they based their decision.10 Finally, it regulates everything related to the order of the Tribunal of Appeal and the retrial;11 and, 6 Cf.
