Criminal revision: Admissibility of decision before expiration of the two-week rebuttal period under § 349 Abs. 3 Satz 2 StPO

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) corrected a clerical error in a prior order, replacing the date "14 July" with "13 July" in the reference to a specific written statement, and simultaneously confirmed the procedural legitimacy of deciding a criminal revision case before the expiration of the two-week deadline under § 349 Abs. 3 Satz 2 StPO. The dispute concerned the procedural validity of issuing a judicial decision immediately after receiving a written opposing statement from the defendant, following a letter from the Federal Public Prosecutor that did not reserve the right for further submissions. The court held that it is legally permissible and standard practice to render a decision before the statutory two-week rebuttal period expires in such circumstances, citing established case law and commentary to validate the accelerated procedural timeline.
