Key legal question
Whether the prosecutor had to be recused for personal hostility in the criminal trial.
Extracted holding
The constitutional guarantees invoked protect the impartiality of courts and, where applicable, prosecutorial authorities acting in a judicial function, but not the prosecutor acting as a party supporting the prosecution.
Extracted reasoning
Because the prosecutor was intervening at trial as a party to the proceedings, the recusal claim based on Art. 30(1) Cst. and Art. 6 ECHR was manifestly unfounded.
