Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The Supreme Court permitted the appointment of defense counsel for a criminal case initiated before October 1, 1997, based on the new 1998 legislation. The prosecution argued that the old procedural rules applied to cases starting prior to the new law's enactment. The court ruled that the new provisions could be applied retroactively to ensure the defendant's right to legal representation was protected.
