Certezza del giudizio, della colpevolezza e del giudicato: l'essenza triadica della cognizione ordinaria penale

The essay aims to analyse the value of certainty in relation to the criminal proceeding of ordinary cognition. In particular, the Author intends to deepen the variegated and complex role that the legal certainty assumes, respectively, in the context of judgment, guilt and res judicata. This will allow to highlight the subtle but indestructible fil rouge running along the three souls of the jurisdiction in criminalibus, which brings into play the most essential interests, freedoms and values of an individual.
