Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate findings on witness credibility and the transfer of money were arbitrary
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Court found no arbitrariness in the lower court's assessment of the victim's and defendant's statements.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant mostly repeated his own view without showing that the factual assessment was manifestly untenable. The lower court reasonably relied on the victim's consistent account and on contradictions in the defendant's statements.
