Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Supreme Court should find a denial of justice for failure to decide the recusal complaint
Extrahierter Entscheid
No denial of justice was found because the underlying criminal case had long been finally closed and the recusal complaint could be considered untimely, even abusive.
Extrahierte Begründung
The recusal grounds were already known by the time of the 2009 closure, so they should have been raised then at the latest. In those circumstances, the cantonal court could refrain from ruling on the 2012 complaint without violating fair-trial rights.
