Whether the criminal appeal against the severance order met the motivation requirements of Art. 385 and 396 CPP
No. The appellant did not identify the contested points, the reasons for a different decision, or any evidence, so the appeal was not sufficiently reasoned.
Under Art. 396 al. 1 CPP and Art. 385 al. 1 CPP, an appeal must state the contested points, the reasons for another decision, and the evidence relied on. After being given a short deadline to cure the defect, the appellant remained silent; the court therefore could not enter into the merits.
