Questão jurídica principal
Whether refusing to hear proposed witnesses violated the right to be heard
Decisão extraída
No. The witnesses could only have given general statements about possible malfunctions, not relevant evidence on the charged red-light violation.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 139(2) and 318(2) StPO, evidence may be refused for irrelevant facts. None of the proposed witnesses had observed the incident.
