Summary/Abstract: : The High Court of Cassation and Justice Decision brings in the forefront the procedural errors created by the simplified procedure provided by art. 320^1 Cod.proc.pen. I.C.C.J. finds the lower courts failure in respecting the same procedural rights regarding the defendant and responsible civil party. But, while the Supreme Court omits the simultaneous existence, the task of both parties, of procedural obligations whose observance presupposes affecting those rights which are criticized as violated. This omission is corroborated with an error which itself I.C.C.J. criticize to the retrial court whose decision is quashed. Although defendant's confession is not queen of proofs anymore, it remains one of the decisive evidence in a complex criminal trial involving more than 300 parts of which only one has a double processual quality.
