Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court violated the presumption of innocence and in dubio pro reo by its assessment of the evidence
Decisão extraída
No. The complaint was largely appellatory and did not show arbitrariness in the court's factual findings.
Fundamentação extraída
The federal court held that the appellant did not substantiate a violation of the burden-of-proof rule and merely challenged the evidence with his own version. The appellate court's view that his account was implausible was not untenable.
