Key legal question
Whether the investigating judge had to be recused for alleged bias based on an asserted transmission of a report to the finance inspectorate.
Extracted holding
The alleged ground for recusal was not established; the opposing evidence was more credible and no objective appearance of bias was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal president was entitled to prefer the statements of the head of the finance inspection over those of the former information chief. The asserted irregularity in one protocol did not undermine the substance of the evidence, and the appellant failed to show any active role by the latter in drafting the report.
