Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's finding that the accused lacked awareness of non-consent was arbitrary
Extracted holding
The assessment of the evidence was not arbitrary; the circumstances allowed the cantonal court to retain a serious doubt about the accused's awareness of a lack of consent.
Extracted reasoning
The court could consider the whole evening, including the parties' conduct before, during, and after intercourse. The complainant's conduct could reasonably suggest consent, and her later behavior did not make the finding untenable. The accused's admissions did not amount to an acknowledgment that he knowingly overrode a refusal.
