Questão jurídica principal
Whether the prior procedural separation of proceedings against a co-accused violated law and required remittal
Decisão extraída
The complaint failed because the defendant had no right to demand joint treatment in these circumstances and could not rely on the temporary suspension of the other proceeding before the trial court.
Fundamentação extraída
The criminal procedure rules allowed separation for reasons of expediency; any challenge to the suspension of the co-accused’s case belonged, if at all, before the cantonal complaint authority, not by appeal in this case.
