Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the accused's personal withdrawal of the appeal was valid under Art. 386 StPO despite no prior consultation with appointed counsel
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A represented accused may withdraw an appeal personally; counsel's prior agreement is not required. The withdrawal was clear, unconditional, and no qualifying defect of will was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 386 StPO allows a party entitled to appeal to waive or withdraw the remedy by written declaration. The court held that the defender is not the accused's substitute and that, for a urteilsfähige accused person, withdrawal does not require counsel's consent. No deception, offense, or incorrect official information was established, and no incapacity was proven.
