A citizen who was an assistant to the prosecution in criminal proceedings for forgery and breach of trust appealed against a Supreme Court judgment upholding the acquittal of the defendants for insufficient evidence, alleging a breach of the right to a fair trial. The Court dismissed the appeal, finding that his arguments merely expressed disagreement with the assessment of evidence, which is a matter for the trial court, and that the judgment was properly reasoned.
