Question juridique clé
Whether appointed counsel had to be granted for preparing a criminal revision request based on alleged new evidence.
Solution extraite
No. The purported new documents were not shown to be capable of supporting revision, so legal aid was not justified to safeguard the appellant's interests.
Motifs extraits
Revision under Art. 410 para. 1 let. a CPP requires new and serious facts or evidence, and the request must be reasoned under Art. 411 CPP. The submitted employment contract and power of attorney merely confirmed already known elements and did not make the revision request plausible.
