The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal filed by the defense regarding the admissibility of evidence submitted post-deadline. The defense argued that the prosecution's late submission violated procedural fairness, while the prosecution maintained strict adherence to temporal limits. The court ruled that the statutory deadline for evidence submission is mandatory and its violation renders the evidence inadmissible, thereby upholding the lower court's decision to exclude it.
