Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the court could treat the private-party settlement as a prohibited plea bargain affecting criminal liability and sentencing
Extrahierter Entscheid
The settlement between civil parties did not bind the court and did not make the criminal judgment unlawful.
Extrahierte Begründung
The prosecution could only complain about misapplication of federal criminal law, not cantonal procedure or evidentiary assessment. The court found no binding promise of leniency and no unlawful plea bargaining.
