Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily fixed the official defence counsel's fee at CHF 4,000.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Given the documented workload and the complexity of the murder proceedings, the flat fee of CHF 4,000 for the counsel's work could not reasonably correspond to the services rendered.
Extrahierte Begründung
A flat fee is permissible, but it becomes unconstitutional when it ignores the concrete workload and falls outside any reasonable relationship to the actual services. The cantonal court did not meaningfully address the detailed time entries and pleadings, and the resulting compensation for about 25 hours of work was unreasonable.
