Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defense letter of 19 April 2013 had to be treated as a recusal request against the prosecutor.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Interpreted objectively and in good faith, the letter was a recusal request under the Criminal Procedure Code.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive factor was how the authorities had to understand the written submission, not the appellant's alleged inner intent. The wording and context clearly indicated a request for recusal, and any misunderstanding should have been corrected immediately.
