His Drug-Use Acquittal Was Protected When He Challenged Another Conviction
A defendant challenged his cannabis conviction at the Court of Cassation, but two earlier acquittals on drug-related charges had been omitted from the appeal judgment. The court examined whether his own cassation challenge could reopen those acquittals and applied the principle that a defendant's appeal cannot worsen his position when the prosecution has not filed its own cassation challenge.
