Key legal question
Whether the victim's appeal against the compensation award remained justiciable after the parallel appeal was granted and the cantonal judgment was annulled
Extracted holding
The proceedings became moot because the parallel decision required the cantonal court to decide again on the compensation claim.
Extracted reasoning
Once the separate criminal appeal was allowed and the challenged cantonal judgment set aside, the Obergericht had to reconsider the compensation issue, leaving no live controversy before the Federal Supreme Court.
