Key legal question
Whether criminal limitation had expired despite the prior cassation complaint proceedings
Extracted holding
The limitation period was suspended during the cassation complaint proceedings and resumed only after the cassating decision; therefore it had not expired.
Extracted reasoning
An extraordinary cantonal remedy against a conviction suspends prosecution limitation for its entire duration. Once the earlier judgment was quashed on 1996-01-04, the remaining limitation period ran on; only about 13 months had elapsed.
