Question juridique clé
Whether refusing to hear the defendant's father violated the right to be heard and Art. 6 ECHR
Solution extraite
No. The appellate court could, in anticipatory assessment of evidence, reasonably conclude that a further witness hearing would not change its view.
Motifs extraits
The court found the defendant's version and supporting written statements contradictory, suspiciously revised, and likely fabricated; therefore the requested testimony was not capable of overturning the evidentiary assessment.
