Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the complaint could rely on the Swiss Criminal Procedure Code despite the prior first-instance judgment date.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal proceedings were governed by the former Lucerne criminal procedure law, not the new Swiss CPC.
Extrahierte Begründung
The first-instance judgment was issued before 1 January 2011; therefore, under Art. 453(1) and 454(1) CPC, appeals are decided under the former law.
