Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the public law appeal against the cantonal ruling on assize-court composition was admissible.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The ruling was an interlocutory decision on tribunal composition and could be challenged directly under the applicable procedural rules.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decision did not end the proceedings but concerned the composition of the trial court; such pre-judgment decisions on jurisdiction or recusal are directly appealable.
