Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to order a credibility expert for the victim violated the right to be heard
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Credibility assessment is primarily for the judge; no special circumstances required such an expert on these facts.
Extrahierte Begründung
The victim was no longer a small child when she reported the abuse, her statements were coherent, no serious mental-health concerns appeared, and several specialists and the judges’ own observations supported her credibility.
