Questão jurídica principal
Whether the victims had standing to appeal the acquittal under cantonal procedure and the Victims Assistance Act.
Decisão extraída
They had no standing to appeal because they could assert no direct private-law civil claim against the acquitted nurse; their claim lay only against the State.
Fundamentação extraída
Where liability rests solely with the canton for acts of public employees, the injured persons lack direct civil claims against the individual defendant. Under the court's settled case law, that excludes standing based on victim status for remedies tied to civil claims in the criminal case.
