Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's fee of CHF 1,500 lacked sufficient reasoning and violated the right to be heard.
Extracted holding
No. A brief or even missing reason is acceptable for costs fixed within a statutory tariff range, and the fee lay within the lower end of the applicable range.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 424 para. 1 StPO and the cantonal tariff, the appellate court had discretion within a broad bracket. No special circumstances required further explanation.
