Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant could be excluded from hearings of co-accused persons.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The defendant had to be allowed to attend the relevant hearings, together with his lawyer.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 146 StPO regulates separate questioning technique only and does not create an exception to the parties' right to attend evidence-taking under Art. 147 StPO. Since the defendant had already been questioned and no valid exclusion ground was shown, exclusion was unjustified.
