Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellants had standing to bring a public-law appeal under the Victims Assistance Act.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. As victims who had already participated and whose civil claims could be affected, they were entitled to appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
They were victims within the meaning of the LAVI, had joined the proceedings earlier, and had asserted civil claims for moral damages; therefore Art. 8 para. 1 let. c LAVI was satisfied.
