Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the recusal request was filed within the ten-day time limit under cantonal procedure
Extrahierter Entscheid
The request was untimely because the grounds were known well before the recusal motion was filed.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 35 ch. 1 CPP val., a party must seek recusal within ten days after learning of the ground. The appellant knew the relevant facts long before the challenged decision, so waiting more than two years was incompatible with the rule and with good faith.
