AI generated

The Supreme Court rejected the defense lawyer's request to investigate the impartiality of a Supreme Court judge concerning his consent to criminal liability. The lawyer argued that the judge's status as a former head of the Administrative Court raised impartiality concerns, while the opposing party contended no such conflict existed. The court decided to dismiss the request because the judge's prior administrative role did not preclude his impartiality in this specific criminal liability matter.
