Application for assigned counsel dismissed as client waived right and case is not urgent.
Legislator summary

The client had previously indicated they would handle their own defense, and the proceedings were not deemed urgent enough to warrant state-appointed counsel. Consequently, the court found no legal basis to override the client's apparent waiver of the right to assistance.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedStraffesagens lovgivning; § 100 stk. 1 af Straffeloven: The court may appoint a defense lawyer only if the accused requests it and the case requires it due to complexity or urgency, not merely as a matter of course.
