Key legal question
Whether the cantonal appeal court established the facts arbitrarily and violated in dubio pro reo
Extracted holding
The challenged findings were not manifestly untenable; the victim's account, corroborating evidence, and the accused's conduct provided a sustainable basis for conviction.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the appellant merely reargued the evidence. The appeal court could rely on the consistency of the victim's statements, post-traumatic symptoms, contradictions in the appellant's version, threats and flight, and personality indicators. In dubio pro reo adds nothing beyond the arbitrariness review.
