Kernrechtsfrage
Whether A. was entitled to appeal the acquittal despite only claiming civil liability in principle under the old Victim Assistance Act.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A. had standing to appeal because he had joined the criminal proceedings as a civil claimant and, given the uncertainty of damages, was not required to quantify his claims at that stage.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the applicable former OHG, a victim may challenge the criminal judgment if it participated earlier and the decision affects civil claims. Since the extent of damage and compensation was not yet ascertainable, a mere claim for liability in principle was sufficient.
