Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the narcotics-law misdemeanors were time-barred after the first-instance judgment
Extrahierter Entscheid
Art. 97(3) StGB applies also to misdemeanors; once the first-instance judgment was rendered before expiry, prosecution was not time-barred.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 104 StGB makes the general part applicable to misdemeanors unless the special rules of Arts. 103-109 StGB provide otherwise; nothing indicates an exclusion of Art. 97(3) StGB for misdemeanors.
