Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 94 StPO
Solution extraite
Restoration was denied because the asserted impediment did not prevent timely filing and the defendant did not sufficiently show unavoidable prevention.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal court could reasonably find that, after he was able to travel to a hotel and fax the appeal, he could also have filed it by post or through a postbox; the new allegation of a failed post visit was inadmissible before the Federal Court and in any event not credible.
