Whether the complainant met the conditions for free legal aid and free counsel under Art. 136 CPP
The appeal court held that the conditions were not met, in particular because counsel was not necessary for the complainant's interests and indigence was doubtful.
The case presented no factual or legal difficulty, the accused had admitted the facts, and the complainant could assert civil claims without counsel. Her lawyer already assisted her in parallel civil proceedings, and she had assets of CHF 48,000.
