Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Vaud enforcement judge was competent to decide on conditional release before the criminal judgment was final and executable.
Decisão extraída
The enforcement judge was not competent because the conviction was not yet final and the sentence could not be executed in advance without the convict's consent.
Fundamentação extraída
Under cantonal execution law, post-judgment decisions presuppose a final criminal judgment. At the time of the conditional-release decision, the deadline for federal appeal had not expired and the defendant had not agreed to anticipatory execution; detention still rested on pre-trial detention rules. The decision therefore suffered from a serious competence defect and was void.
