Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal was filed within the statutory time limit based on the proof of postal dispatch.
Extracted holding
The court found it not arbitrary to conclude that the appeal was posted only after the deadline and that the appellant bore the risk of failing to prove timely dispatch.
Extracted reasoning
The postmark evidence and the postal center's information supported the finding of late posting. The appellant had the burden of proving timely mailing, and the cantonal court was entitled to prefer that evidence over the appellant's account.
