Criminal trial defenses
Konstantinos E. Chatziioannou
Lawyer, PhD
Abstract:
The present book refers to the way the Greek criminal Courts deal
with certain arguments and allegations of the accused. Despite the fact that
both the Greek Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights
impose the conduct of a proper examination of the submissions, arguments
and evidence adduced by the parties, the Greek Supreme Court limits the need
for the motivation of judgements to specific categories of allegations. The
book presents a new perspective on this issue and aims to reform the present
jurisprudence regarding the examination of the arguments of the accused by
taking into account the fairness of the proceedings.
