Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to order photographs of the former cellar violated the right to be heard through arbitrary anticipatory assessment of evidence.
Solution extraite
No. The court could regard the requested photos as irrelevant because the alleged presence or absence of an workbench and the cellar's layout were not essential to the offence and the victim's statements were already supported by other evidence.
Motifs extraits
The trial court had expert evidence and witness statements on credibility. Even if there was an inaccuracy about the cellar, that would not undermine the overall assessment of the allegations.
