Question juridique clé
Whether the request to replace assigned defense counsel remained justiciable before the Federal Supreme Court.
Solution extraite
The appeal was declared moot because the assigned counsel had already been replaced with immediate effect during the proceedings.
Motifs extraits
The current practical interest no longer existed. The exception to the requirement of an current interest did not apply because such disputes depend heavily on the individual case and can normally be reviewed in time after exhaustion of cantonal remedies.
