Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court could refuse to enter into the prosecution appeal because the first-instance judgment relied on two independent reasons and only one was challenged
Decisione estratta
The refusal to enter into the appeal was arbitrary and violated federal law because it was not clear that the first-instance acquittals on forgery counts were based on two independent grounds.
Motivazione estratta
The first-instance judgment was unclear: the reasoning on insufficient indictment concerned the damage allegation, which is not an element of forgery or forgery in office. The prosecution could not recognize that those counts were also dismissed for defective indictment, so insisting on a challenge to both grounds was overly formalistic.
