Key legal question
Whether refusing to hear the two other board members violated the right to be heard and the presumption of innocence in the embezzlement count.
Extracted holding
The refusal was permissible under anticipatory assessment of evidence; no constitutional violation occurred.
Extracted reasoning
The existing evidence allowed the court to conclude without arbitrariness that the CHF 25,000 was not salary but money taken for another use; further witness testimony would not have changed that conclusion.
