Legislator summary

AI generated

The court upheld the lower court's refusal to appoint the same defense lawyer for both defendants in a criminal case. The primary fact is that the first defendant's lawyer was denied appointment for the second defendant due to a high risk of conflicting interests. The court ruled that this risk justified the denial under the relevant statutory provision, thereby dismissing the lawyer's appeal.

Der er på baggrund af det, som byretten har anført, en så nærliggende risiko for, at de sig tede har modstridende interesser i sagen, at der er grundlag for at nægte at beskikke advo kat Lars Thousig Jensen som forsvarer tillige for Tiltalte 2
