Kernrechtsfrage
Is the public-law appeal admissible against the cantonal decision refusing severance of co-defendants?
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The decision is an incidental procedural ruling; it does not cause irreparable legal harm within the meaning of Art. 87(2) OJ.
Extrahierte Begründung
A refusal to sever criminal proceedings so that the accused are tried together is merely an intermediate step. Any disadvantages are procedural or practical only and can be fully remedied by a favorable final judgment; delays do not amount to irreparable harm.
