Key legal question
Whether the father of the deceased had standing to file a constitutional complaint against the discontinuance of the investigation.
Extracted holding
Standing existed because parents are equated with victims under the Victim Assistance Act and the decision could affect civil claims.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 8 OHG and Art. 2(2) OHG, victims and their parents may challenge a discontinuance when the decision may influence civil claims; this is a special rule overriding the general lack of standing of a mere injured party.
