Criminal revision: Rejection of appeal and supplementation of adhesion proceedings to withhold decision on remaining civil claims

The Federal Court of Justice, 6th Criminal Senate, dismissed the defendant's appeal as unfounded, thereby upholding the Landgericht Verden's conviction and sentence of November 3, 2022, while supplementing the civil party decision to explicitly state that no decision was rendered on the remaining parts of the adhesion application; the defendant was ordered to bear the costs of the appeal, special costs incurred in the adhesion proceedings, and the necessary expenses of the auxiliary and adhesion plaintiffs. The case involved a criminal prosecution where the defendant challenged the lower court's judgment via revision, but the appellate court found no error in the proceedings or sentencing. The decision relies on the procedural standards for criminal revision under the Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO), specifically regarding the rejection of unfounded appeals and the supplementary handling of civil claims within the criminal trial, affirming that the original judgment remains in force except for the clarified disposition on the adhesion request.
