Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court president had to be recused for apparent bias in drafting the expert questionnaire.
Extracted holding
No objective appearance of partiality was established; the wording, though awkward, merely treated guilt as an hypothesis and was cured by the added preamble.
Extracted reasoning
The questions were taken from an official psychiatric questionnaire, not from a personal assessment of guilt. The expert would read the criminal file, including the acquittal, and the added introductory wording removed any possible ambiguity.
