Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court had to warn the unrepresented appellant to appoint counsel under Art. 49 CPP/TI.
Decisão extraída
No. The court found no signs that the appellant was objectively unable to defend himself, so no warning or appointed counsel was required.
Fundamentação extraída
Mandatory defense under Art. 49 CPP/TI was not triggered; the case was not grave or complex enough, the expected sentence was short and suspended, and the appellant could understand and conduct the proceedings himself.
