Whether the appellate findings on witness credibility and the transfer of money were arbitrary
Decisione estratta
No. The Federal Court found no arbitrariness in the lower court's assessment of the victim's and defendant's statements.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant mostly repeated his own view without showing that the factual assessment was manifestly untenable. The lower court reasonably relied on the victim's consistent account and on contradictions in the defendant's statements.
