Whether the requested witness hearings of M.________ and F.________ were necessary.
The hearings were unnecessary; M.________ had already given relevant information and F.________ was not involved in the alleged reporting.
The court found that M.________'s statement to the police already showed the accused had not used the word 'theft', and an additional formal hearing would not change the assessment. As S.________ had not reported the incident to F.________, her testimony was also unnecessary.
