Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to appoint and fund a second ex officio lawyer was lawful
Solution extraite
A second court-appointed lawyer was not required because the case was not exceptionally complex and equality of arms did not demand it.
Motifs extraits
Multiple counsel may be appointed only exceptionally when needed for an adequate defense. The facts, volume of the file, witness evidence, foreign-law elements, and publicity of the case were not unusual enough to justify two funded defense counsel.
