Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellate court’s assessment of the complainant’s testimony and the evidence was arbitrary, violating in dubio pro reo.
Decisione estratta
The complaint did not show that the appellate court’s assessment was untenable; the challenged inconsistencies and doubts were sufficiently reasoned, and the appeal relied largely on appellatory criticism.
Motivazione estratta
Federal review is limited to arbitrariness. The appellate court permissibly found significant divergences in the complainant’s statements, especially on oral sex and surrounding circumstances, and could conclude that the required certainty for conviction was lacking.
