Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal decision rejecting the recusal request should be set aside because the investigating judge created an appearance of bias.
Decisione estratta
The record did not show objective circumstances giving rise to an appearance of partiality; the recusal request was rightly denied.
Motivazione estratta
The witness statements were made long after the interrogations, the interrogation protocols contained no signs of pressure, and the judge was entitled to confront inconsistent statements and clarify the facts. Subjective discomfort alone was insufficient.
