Key legal question
Whether a state-law appeal alleging denial of justice is admissible against a committal order before any final conviction judgment exists.
Extracted holding
The appeal is premature because a state-law appeal against a criminal prosecution act is only to be examined after a final judgment containing a conviction has been rendered.
Extracted reasoning
A later acquittal would fully rehabilitate the accused and remove any practical interest in reviewing the committal order; such issues belong primarily to cantonal law and should not be decided by the Federal Court before a conviction judgment exists.
