Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the criminal-law appeal was admissible without first using the cantonal remedy before the Anklagekammer.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was not procedurally ripe for federal review because a cantonal complaint to the Anklagekammer was available and had to be used first.
Motivazione estratta
The challenged decision was not a final cantonal instance under Art. 80 BGG, since the St. Gallen rules allowed a Rechtsverweigerungsbeschwerde to the Anklagekammer, which could freely review the legal questions relevant to a recusal ruling.
