Key legal question
Whether the subsidiary constitutional appeal against the criminal acquittal was admissible despite not being directed against a cantonal final decision and being filed late.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because it was not directed against a cantonal decision of last instance and, in any event, was manifestly late under Art. 100(1) LTF.
Extracted reasoning
After learning of the decision in October 2011, the appellant did not allege that he requested motivation and appealed in time; the federal filing in October 2012 was therefore untimely.
