Key legal question
Whether the appellant could successfully challenge the factual findings as arbitrary or manifestly incorrect.
Extracted holding
The challenge failed because the alleged misreading of his statement was not arbitrary; the lower court could rely on his own prior statements showing a fixed appointment.
Extracted reasoning
Federal review of facts is limited to manifest error or arbitrariness. The appellant's claim of a 'free appointment' contradicted his earlier statements and counsel's remarks; the lower court's interpretation was therefore sustainable.
