Key legal question
Whether refusal to allow participation in the mother’s examinations violated the right to be heard and fair trial guarantees.
Extracted holding
No violation occurred; the challenged interrogation records were not used against him, and the right to summon exculpatory witnesses is only relative.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court did not rely on the impugned investigative protocols, and the mother’s police statement was exculpatory rather than incriminating. The defendant had no absolute right to the requested confrontation.
