Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court committed a formal denial of justice by not ruling on the request to exclude later observations of the investigating judge and prosecutor general.
Extracted holding
No. The court was not required to address an unsubstantial request lacking any coherent procedural basis, especially since the appellant could reply last on the merits.
Extracted reasoning
The right to be heard requires a ruling only on pertinent, reasoned submissions. Since the objection had no substantive motivation, implicit rejection was sufficient.
