Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal courts assessed the witness evidence arbitrarily and violated in dubio pro reo
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The Federal Court held that the complaint was merely appellatory and did not show arbitrary assessment; the lower courts could rely on the complainant's detailed and plausible testimony.
Extrahierte Begründung
Federal review is limited to manifestly incorrect or unconstitutional fact findings. There are no formal evidence rules in Swiss criminal law, and a conviction is not barred merely because the case is a 'statement against statement' situation. The lower courts gave coherent reasons for crediting the witness and could exclude the defendant's version without arbitrariness.
