Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusing to remand the case to the trial court under Art. 353 aCPP/GE was arbitrary after the Federal Supreme Court’s remand.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court could decide again without remitting the case to the trial court; this did not produce an arbitrary result.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 453 CPP, old procedural law continued to govern the remand question because the merits had been decided under the former system. In the concrete posture, no final judgment existed yet, and a remand would have served no purpose except formal confirmation of the same result. The court found no insupportable outcome under Art. 9 Cst.
