Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the second request for retrial was governed by the older Vaud procedure or the new CPP under the transitional rule.
Decisione estratta
The request had to be assessed under the older cantonal procedure insofar as it was more favorable, but this did not help the appellant.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 452 para. 2 CPP requires application of the more favorable law only for the conditions to obtain a new judgment; the court rejected any broader retroactive effect of the new Code.
