Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appellate court acted arbitrarily in reassessing the first-instance evidence under § 412 StPO/ZH.
Decisão extraída
No. The appellate court could find substantial doubts about the correctness of the first-instance fact-finding and reweigh the witness statements.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the cantonal ground of 'substantial doubts' is broader than constitutional arbitrariness review. Reconsidering the credibility of police officers versus family witnesses was not arbitrary.
