The vote that decides on the guilt or innocence of each of the defendants of the accused will be initiated by the rapporteur, followed by the vote of the reviewer.

Next, the vote will be carried out starting from the most recent minister until reaching the oldest in the court.

The last vote is that of the president of the court, Judge Rosa Weber.
