Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 274d(3) OR by refusing late evidence and assessing evidence freely.
Extracted holding
No. Art. 274d(3) OR requires free assessment of evidence, but it does not bar anticipatory assessment of additional evidence deemed incapable of changing the court's conviction.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Supreme Court held that free evaluation of evidence allows a court to reject further evidence in anticipatory appraisal and does not create a right to unrestricted appellate review of evidence.
