Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court’s assessment of the evidence was arbitrary and violated the presumption of innocence
Decisão extraída
No. The criticism was largely appellatory and did not show that the factual findings were untenable.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that the appellate court reasonably found the complainant credible and identified inconsistencies in the defendant’s statements; the alleged contradiction about phone photos did not make the assessment arbitrary.
