Question juridique clé
Whether the deputy prosecutor had to be recused for alleged bias and prior relationship with the appellant.
Solution extraite
The recusal request was unfounded because the prosecutor acted only as a party, had no adjudicative function, and the alleged circumstances were not objectively substantiated.
Motifs extraits
Public prosecutors are not subject to the same impartiality standard as trial judges when they remain within their accusatory role. The cantonal court could also find the appellant's allegations subjective and not credible, with no objective indicia of partiality.
