Key legal question
Whether the criminal cassation appeal could challenge the factual findings and the alleged violation of the speedy-trial guarantee.
Extracted holding
The court would not review attacks on the binding facts; complaints of direct violation of the speedy-trial guarantee were not admissible in this cassation appeal.
Extracted reasoning
The appeal under federal cassation law only permits review of indirect effects of constitutional or Convention delays on the application of criminal law. Since the cantonal court found no violation, there was no room for a federal-law complaint on that point.
