Questão jurídica principal
Whether refusing to adjourn the trial violated the appellant's hearing rights and her right to speak last
Decisão extraída
The medical certificate did not show incapacity to attend; the refusal to adjourn was not arbitrary, so no hearing-right violation occurred.
Fundamentação extraída
The psychological troubles were caused by the proceedings, the evidence phase was essentially over, and the remaining acts could have been attended. The appellant also remained able to communicate by fax and letter.
