A diferencia de otros países, la instancia de casación en España no prevé un segundo juicio en el que se cuestionen todas las pruebas estudiadas en la primera vista, sino que tiene un cauce muy delimitado en el que sólo cabe impugnar cuestiones de fondo y de forma. Ante el Supremo no comparecen los condenados, sino sólo sus abogados, que exponen por orden los motivos de casación y contestan a los de las demás partes procesales.
Serán, pues, varios días de discursos jurídicos de altura, sin los acicates del juicio a los ocupantes del banquillo que fue retransmitido a todo el mundo. En esta ocasión no habrá cobertura televisada, y sólo se permitirá captar imágenes el primer día, al inicio de las sesiones. No obstante, la vista será grabada y televisada en circuito cerrado para los medios de comunicación.


Your text deals with the appeal to the Spanish Supreme Court, which was in charge of delivering the final verdict. In this final instance, the Supreme Court, no TV cameras were allowed in the court room and this is why the journalist depicts the scenario as “without the allure of the trial” that had taken place in the previous instance, the Audiencia Nacional, which was a major media event in Spain, and where the Spanish people could follow on TV the coverage of the trial.
