Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the canton had to compensate appointed defence counsel for work performed before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The appointment under cantonal criminal procedure was limited to the cantonal proceedings and did not cover proceedings before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extrahierte Begründung
Extending the cantonal mandate to federal appeal proceedings would conflict with the federal allocation of procedural competence; the lower court's interpretation of § 18 Abs. 2 StPO/SZ was therefore not arbitrary.
