Key legal question
Whether challenges to the facts and substitute claim were admissible despite a limited cantonal appeal
Extracted holding
The federal court would only review these complaints if the appellant showed that the cantonal court arbitrarily applied cantonal procedural law when refusing to examine them; this was not demonstrated.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant failed to identify the relevant cantonal rule or explain why the appeal statement was arbitrarily interpreted under Art. 239(2) StP/SG. The submissions therefore did not satisfy the constitutional reasoning requirements.
