Key legal question
Whether the lower court's factual findings and credibility assessment were arbitrary or violated the presumption of innocence
Extracted holding
The defendant failed to show that the appellate court's fact-finding was arbitrary; the credibility assessment based on the complainant's consistent testimony, corroboration, and medical evidence was sustainable.
Extracted reasoning
The federal court limited review to arbitrariness, found the defendant largely advanced inadmissible appellate criticism, and held that the discrepancies he invoked did not undermine the core finding of threats in the complainant's apartment.
