Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal against the correction of the charge in the lower court. The prosecution sought to amend the charge based on new evidence discovered after the initial trial, while the defense argued this violated the principle of legal certainty. The court ruled that without a specific statutory basis or compelling new facts justifying the change, the lower court could not alter the charge without the defendant's consent.
