Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible and whether the cantonal court violated the right to be heard or acted arbitrarily in assessing evidence and intent.
Decisão extraída
The constitutional complaints were either insufficiently reasoned or unfounded; the cantonal court’s factual findings, including causation and intent to kill, were not arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
The federal court limited review to properly raised constitutional issues, held that the alleged hearing violation merely repeated an arbitrariness complaint, and found the evidence assessment sustainable: the knife attacks, number of blows, and the victim’s injuries supported causation and murderous intent.
