Key legal question
Whether the missed appeal deadline should be restored under Art. 94 StPO
Extracted holding
Restoration was denied because the appellant failed to make credible that he was without fault; language difficulties and counsel's conduct did not excuse the delay.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant understood the discontinuance decision sufficiently to know he wished to challenge it, knew a deadline was running, and could have acted in time. A represented party generally bears the conduct of counsel, absent serious misconduct.
