Question juridique clé
Does a limitation of the main appeal to the sentence also limit the subject matter of the cross-appeal?
Solution extraite
No. A limitation of the main appeal under § 173(3) StPO does not restrict the scope of the cross-appeal.
Motifs extraits
Under § 173 StPO, the appellate court has full review power in every appeal case, independent of the parties' requests. The appeal permits a comprehensive reconsideration of facts and law; only the prohibition of reformatio in peius limits that power.
