Urgent request for grounds for the appeal on points of law
After my telephone access was activated, I immediately put strong pressure on my lawyer to obtain at least a copy of the grounds for the appeal on points of law (Revision)The grounds for the appeal on points of law against the judgment of 22.07.2024, submitted by court-appointed defence counsel on 28.11.2024.. Yet he did not respond to this urgent attempt either.
Commentary — Dmitry Bagrash’s assessment
The fact that I had to exert pressure to obtain any copy of the grounds for my own appeal on points of law is the central finding of this entry. Under § 147 StPO, the right to inspect the case file belongs to defence counsel; the suspect thus depends entirely on counsel’s cooperation. If that cooperation is absent, no formal violation of the law arises, but there is a de facto exclusion from one’s own defence.
