Key legal question
Whether the faxed waiver of the written reasons and appeal was valid under cantonal law.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, treat the faxed waiver as valid; no written form was required.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 220 StP did not prescribe a form for the waiver. The waiver was an unambiguous procedural declaration, sent through counsel, and nothing made the court's view untenable.
