Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the early appointment of an official defense counsel during the remand stage was lawful
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Under cantonal procedure, appointment was required because a trial was already scheduled and mandatory defense at trial was probable.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court relied on cantonal rules requiring appointment during remand when a trial is likely; early appointment is generally desirable for the proper administration of justice.
