Question juridique clé
Whether the challenged factual findings were arbitrary, including prior assaults and attempted coercion.
Solution extraite
The lower court's findings were not arbitrary; they were supported by victim-protection notes, the children's statements, and the defendant's own near-contemporaneous police statements.
Motifs extraits
Under the limited review of facts, the appellate court could rely on credible evidence and especially on statements made on the day of the offense; the defendant's contrary version was merely an alternative view.
