Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court violated the presumption of innocence by accepting co-accused X.'s statements and convicting Y. of serious narcotics offences.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The Federal Court held that the cantonal judges were not required to doubt X.'s account on the basis of the telephone records, credibility arguments, or the alleged burden-shifting remark.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court distinguished the burden of proof from evidentiary assessment. It found no arbitrary assessment: the phone records did not exclude communication by other means or other SIM cards, X. had no tactical reason to fabricate incriminating facts unknown to police, and the challenged remark merely showed why the lower court found no reasonable doubt.
