Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by refusing to hear the psychiatric experts again
Decisão extraída
No violation: the request concerned non-essential matters; a new expert hearing was not required.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that evidence need only be taken on relevant facts. The existing expert report was recent enough, and the therapist’s report did not show that the prior conclusions on compatibility of treatment and imprisonment had become obsolete.
