Question juridique clé
Whether the lower court had to appoint counsel ex officio for the detention hearing
Solution extraite
Yes; because the case was legally difficult and the cantonal law required an ex officio lawyer to protect the detainee's rights.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the cantonally guaranteed right under § 11 BL law applied, and the omission could not be justified by the absence of a federal constitutional duty alone.
