Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the civil claims of plaintiffs 2-6 were admissible under the revised criminal procedure law
Extrahierter Entscheid
The lower court correctly declined to enter into the civil claims; the former practice under Art. 36(3) last sentence aStP cannot be maintained under the revised Criminal Procedure Code of 1 July 1999.
Extrahierte Begründung
The legislature created a simplified, uniform regime for civil claims in Arts. 43 ff. StP, anchored victim rights expressly in cantonal procedural law, and intentionally did not reserve the provisions of the Victim Assistance Act against Art. 44(2) sentence 2 StP.
