Questão jurídica principal
Whether the defendant's right to reply was violated in the recusal proceedings
Decisão extraída
Yes. The cantonal court decided only three days after the defendant received the prosecutor's submission, leaving insufficient time to reply.
Fundamentação extraída
The right to be heard under Art. 29(2) BV includes a right to obtain and comment on written submissions. A party must be given a reasonable period to decide whether to reply and to file the reply; deciding too quickly after transmission of the submission violates that right.
