Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to appoint court-appointed counsel in the criminal proceedings violated the right to legal assistance.
Decisão extraída
No. Given the limited complexity of the case, the defendant's prior admissions, and the absence of special factual or legal difficulties, the interests of justice did not require appointed counsel at this stage.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied Art. 6(3)(c) ECHR and Art. 29(3) Federal Constitution, noting that appointed counsel is required only where the punishment exposure or case complexity makes self-defense unreasonable. Here the case was simple and the accused could defend himself effectively.
