Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusing to hear additional witnesses violated the right to be heard through arbitrary anticipatory assessment of evidence.
Decisione estratta
No violation: the court could reject the requested witness evidence because the existing evidence already showed the material break-in occurred in the northeast corner and additional testimony was unlikely to change the outcome.
Motivazione estratta
Anticipatory evidentiary assessment is permissible if the court can, without arbitrariness, conclude that further evidence would not alter its conviction. The appellant's arguments did not show the finding to be manifestly untenable; the witnesses were long removed in time from the event and had a relationship of dependence with the project owner.
