Key legal question
Whether the cantonal appeal court arbitrarily limited its review to the expressly raised challenge to the assessment of facts.
Extracted holding
No. Under the applicable Fribourg criminal procedure rules, the appeal court may confine its review to grievances expressly and sufficiently motivated in the appeal statement.
Extracted reasoning
The appeal brief attacked only the factual assessment underlying the rape conviction and contained no alternative reasoning on the sentence; the court therefore acted within the published cantonal practice and the code's requirements for appeal submissions.
