Question juridique clé
Whether reopening of the criminal proceedings had to be allowed under Art. 397 StGB on the basis of allegedly new evidence and facts.
Solution extraite
The requested materials were not shown to be sufficiently relevant to justify reopening because they mainly attacked the witness's general credibility.
Motifs extraits
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.
