Key legal question
Whether reopening of the criminal proceedings had to be allowed under Art. 397 StGB on the basis of allegedly new evidence and facts.
Extracted holding
The requested materials were not shown to be sufficiently relevant to justify reopening because they mainly attacked the witness's general credibility.
Extracted reasoning
New facts or evidence must be both new and significant; the proposed medical records, expert opinion, teacher statements, and school/juvenile files concerned only overall credibility and did not seriously undermine the existing credibility assessment.
