Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant was entitled to court-appointed defense counsel in a minor traffic case
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The case was a bagatelle and raised no particular factual or legal difficulties, so the statutory conditions for appointed counsel were not met.
Extrahierte Begründung
Court-appointed defense under Art. 132 CPP requires indigence and justified need; for a manifestly minor case punishable only by a small fine or short substitute detention, there is no constitutional entitlement.
