Question juridique clé
Whether the detainee had a right to be personally heard by the detention judge in a release review hearing.
Solution extraite
Yes. Under Zurich procedural law, read in light of federal guarantees, the detainee's request for personal hearing also applies in detention-release review proceedings.
Motifs extraits
Art. 31(4) BV and Art. 5(4) ECHR do not themselves require an oral hearing, but where cantonal law grants personal hearing on request under § 61 StPO/ZH, that right must be respected also in release-review proceedings through the cross-reference in §§ 64-65 and analogously § 68 StPO/ZH.
