from the judgement that the Supreme Court looked at the author’s allegations in great detail and considered the evidence submitted in the trial and referred to by the author in his appeal, and found that there was sufficient incriminating evidence to rule out errors in weighing the evidence and set aside the presumption of innocence in the author’s case.3 The Committee finds that this part of the complaint of a violation of article 14, paragraph 5, is not duly substantiated by the author. 3 For similar cases, see communication No. 1059/2002, Carvallo v. Spain, decision of 28 October 2005; communication No. 1399/2005, Cuartero v. Spain, decision of 25 July 2005, para. 4.4; communication No. 1356/2005, Parra Corral v. Spain, decision of 29 March 2005, para. 4.3; communication No. 1389/2005, Bertelli v. Spain, decision of 25 July 2005, para. 4.5. 119 119 10. The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the facts before it do not disclose a violation of article 14, paragraph 5, of the Covenant.
