Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appellate court committed an unlawful delay in deciding the pending remedies
Decisão extraída
Yes. The delay was incompatible with the duty to handle criminal proceedings without unjustified delay.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
