Key legal question
Whether the Obergericht arbitrarily assessed the evidence and violated the right to be heard / in dubio pro reo by finding HELLP syndrome as the cause of death.
Extracted holding
The complaints were unfounded; the appellate court reasonably relied on the expert report and other evidence and could refuse further evidence in anticipatory evaluation.
Extracted reasoning
The court found no indication that the defendant had not been heard. The existing expert evidence supported the HELLP diagnosis, while the contrary writings did not provide substantial grounds to doubt it. Therefore, refusing further expert measures was not arbitrary.
