Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to order a psychiatric or credibility expert violated the right to be heard.
Decisão extraída
No. There is no unconditional right to an expert report; the record contained no serious indication of mental disorder or special circumstances requiring expert credibility assessment.
Fundamentação extraída
Expert evidence is only required when the fact to be proved is relevant, the measure is necessary, and the court cannot already form its conviction; credibility is primarily for the judge, and expertise is exceptional.
