Questão jurídica principal
Whether legal aid and appointed counsel had to be granted for a contemplated revision request
Decisão extraída
No. The revision proceedings were neither sufficiently complex nor shown to have realistic prospects of success, and the original conviction did not involve a particularly grave deprivation of liberty.
Fundamentação extraída
For non-grave criminal matters, appointed counsel is required only if the case is complex and the request is not devoid of prospects. The appellant did not engage with the cantonal reasoning and merely advanced appellatory criticism; the asserted new witness statement did not overcome the prior evidence.
