Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court could refuse to hear witness D. because the appeal request was insufficiently reasoned.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was permissible because the appeal had to contain specific, reasoned motions and the witness request was supported only by blanket references to earlier submissions.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that §§ 71(2) StPO and 90(1) GOG require a timely written appeal with specific, reasoned requests. A minimal engagement with the first-instance reasoning is necessary; a mere reference to earlier filings does not satisfy this requirement. This was neither arbitrary nor formalistic.
