Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court's assessment of the DNA trace, the stolen camera, and the absence of an alibi was arbitrary or violated the presumption of innocence
Solution extraite
The appellate court could, without arbitrariness, regard the evidence as sufficient to identify the defendant as the perpetrator; the in dubio pro reo rule was not breached.
Motifs extraits
The defendant merely repeated his own version of events. The file contained no objective indication of a conspiracy. The cigarette butt with his DNA was found 50 meters from the scene only because witnesses noticed two suspicious smokers nearby, and the camera matched the stolen property. In these circumstances, the absence of an alibi only meant that no remaining doubt persisted.
