Key legal question
Whether the cantonal authorities violated fair-trial guarantees by letting the investigating prosecutor issue a criminal order against the witness before the main retrial.
Extracted holding
The complaint was not properly preserved and, in part, concerned a point on which the defendant was not adversely affected after his acquittal on the related additional charges.
Extracted reasoning
The federal complaint could not be used to raise, for the first time or without proper cantonal presentation, objections that should have been exhausted before the cantonal cassation court. The challenged conduct did not affect the final outcome to the defendant's detriment on the added counts.
