Summary/Abstract: The author, analyzing Cicero’s thought summum ius summa iniuria, points out that a formalisticapplication of many rules of criminal procedure, introduced by the current government, can lead tothe recognition as unfair a model of criminal proceedings expressed in the statute and a criminaltrial in a particular case. The author shows that the purpose of amendments was to give a publicprosecutor (a prosecutor) a competitive advantage over each other parties of the proceedings andeven over a court. Terefore, the author posits the interpretation of amendments in accordance withconstitutional values.
