Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court’s fact-finding and assessment of witness credibility were arbitrary or violated in dubio pro reo.
Extracted holding
No. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court’s reliance on the witness and the driver’s own statements was not arbitrary and that the complaint was largely merely appellatory.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court could reasonably rely on converging witness accounts and infer that the appellant had seen the other vehicle earlier and then again at the junction. The challenge did not meet the strict requirements for a constitutional arbitrariness complaint.
