Key legal question
Whether the reform appeal could challenge constitutional and cantonal-law grievances or seek further fact-finding.
Extracted holding
Such complaints were inadmissible in reform proceedings; the court was bound by the cantonal findings unless the strict federal-law exceptions on evidence and manifest oversight were met.
Extracted reasoning
A reform appeal lies only for violations of federal law. Requests to alter the facts or to complain about arbitrariness and cantonal procedural rules belong to public-law review, not reform. Article 64 OG did not help because the defendant had not properly sought completion of evidence in cantonally required form.
