Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal appeal court failed to conduct a full appellate review under Art. 398 CPP.
Solution extraite
No. The appellate court held its own hearing, heard the parties, and based its conviction on the file and evidence; its wording did not show a mere review for arbitrariness.
Motifs extraits
An appeal requires a fresh review on the merits, but the record showed the court exercised independent judgment and no further evidence had to be taken.
