A.F. was seriously injured and had to be hospitalized. B.F. was subsequently arrested by the police and charged. The prosecutor's office filed charges of attempted murder. A.F. applied for the assignment of a public defender, as he did not consider himself in a position to defend himself. The Ministère public rejected this request because A.F. was not needy. A.F. appealed against this decision. The Chambre des recours pénale accepted the complaint and certified to A.F. the need for the assignment of a public defender. Explanation: According to Art. 132 of the Swiss Code of Criminal Procedure (StPO), every person who cannot defend himself is entitled to the assignment of a public defender. In this case, A.F. was classified as needy for the assignment of a public defender due to his serious injuries. The decision of the Chambre des recours pénale is final.
