Key legal question
Whether the victim has a statutory right to free legal aid or free counsel in the criminal point under the cantonal criminal procedure code.
Extracted holding
No. The code provides free legal aid and free counsel only in connection with civil claims asserted by adhesion, not solely for the criminal point.
Extracted reasoning
Sections 16 and 37(2) StPO regulate legal aid only for adhesion civil claims and party compensation after conviction or partial/full allowance of the civil claim. The statute therefore does not create a criminal-point-only entitlement.
