Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the request for waiver of procedural costs under Art. 425 StPO should be granted or reconsidered in light of the appellant's financial situation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The denial of the waiver request could not stand because the file did not show that the statutory hardship criteria had been properly assessed; the matter had to be reconsidered and decided anew.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 425 StPO gives the authority discretion, but it must examine whether the person's financial situation makes the cost burden unreasonable. The income figure cited by the prosecution did not by itself exclude a full or partial waiver, and the original cost decision did not show that hardship criteria had been applied.
