Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to hear G. and H. violated the right to be heard
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusals were permissible because the evidence requests were irrelevant or could not change the court's view, so anticipatory assessment was allowed.
Extrahierte Begründung
As to G., the appellate court could leave open whether he filled out the freight document because the defendant could not derive any favorable legal consequence from that. As to H., the defendant's version was contradicted by his own earlier statements and the court could reject the request without arbitrariness.
