Questão jurídica principal
Whether the victim had to exhaust the cantonal cassation remedy before filing federal appeals
Decisão extraída
Yes. The victim had to first use the cantonal cassation appeal available to the juvenile accused, then challenge that decision before the Federal Tribunal.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Tribunal held that both the public-law appeal and the nullity appeal require exhaustion of cantonal remedies. The victim relied on the same kinds of complaints available in the cantonal cassation procedure, so she could not bypass that instance.
