Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant had standing to file a criminal complaint appeal as a harmed party or victim's relative
Extrahierter Entscheid
She was entitled to lodge the complaint because she relied on constitutional procedural rights; the court accepted that, as a victim's spouse, she could invoke the relevant rights, but only if a civil claim could exist.
Extrahierte Begründung
Standing under Art. 81 BGG is limited for non-victims regarding the state’s penal claim; however, a harmed person may still raise violations of procedural rights. Under cantonal law and the OHG, the appellant was treated as a victim's relative, and the canton court's reading was not arbitrary.
