Key legal question
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by refusing requested evidence (psychological expert opinion, phone records, witnesses).
Extracted holding
The refusal was permissible because the requested evidence was either unnecessary, covered by existing records, or incapable of changing the evidentiary result.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted anticipatory evidence assessment: depression alone did not require a credibility expert; phone contacts were already documented; the proposed witnesses could not clarify the core incident.
