Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellate court acted arbitrarily or violated fair trial rights by allowing the prosecution's cross-appeal beyond the scope of the main appeal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; cantonal law did not clearly limit the cross-appeal, and the practice did not violate equality of arms or fairness.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the scope of a cross-appeal is governed by cantonal law, and the Solothurn practice allowing independent breadth was not untenable. The defendant could have withdrawn his appeal to end the cross-appeal.
