Key legal question
Whether the conviction violated the presumption of innocence / in dubio pro reo
Extracted holding
The complaint was unfounded: the appellate court reasonably found no substantial, unavoidable doubt about the defendant's guilt after assessing the evidence as a whole.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the complaint was largely appellatory. The cantonal court's evaluation of the child's statements, the defendant's own inconsistent and incriminating statements, and the explanation for the second interview did not reveal constitutionally relevant doubt.
