Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal ruling was admissible only insofar as it challenged the dismissal for lateness and denial of justice.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only against the cantonal inadmissibility ruling; challenges to the prosecutor’s handling of the merits were not before the court.
Extracted reasoning
The appellants lacked standing to attack the substance of the prosecutor’s handling of their complaints, and many of their conclusions went beyond the challenged cantonal judgment.
