Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appellate court committed an unlawful delay in deciding the pending remedies
Decisione estratta
Yes. The delay was incompatible with the duty to handle criminal proceedings without unjustified delay.
Motivazione estratta
The remedies had been pending since July 2011, the court itself said a decision was imminent, yet no decision followed for nearly two more months; no valid reason justified the delay.
