Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court's acquittal was based on arbitrary evidence assessment and violated in dubio pro reo
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Court found no arbitrariness: the cantonal court gave cogent reasons for doubting the complainant's version and could acquit the accused.
Fundamentação extraída
The challenge was largely appellatory. The appellate court considered the whole evidentiary picture, including the parties' statements, third-party testimony, multiple unrelated complaints, psychiatric evidence, and the complainant's conduct after the accident. Serious doubts about the complainant's credibility were not untenable.
