Questão jurídica principal
Whether the complainant was entitled to free legal counsel to improve his constitutional complaint.
Decisão extraída
No; the case was not complex, the threatened sentence was minor, and he was capable of safeguarding his rights without appointed counsel.
Fundamentação extraída
Because the complaint was filed very late in the time limit, appointing counsel could not have enabled a timely supplementation; in any event, Art. 29(3) BV did not require counsel in a simple, low-stakes case.
