Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal appellate court violated the presumption of innocence / in dubio pro reo by placing the burden of proof on the accused
Decisione estratta
No. The judgment did not require the accused to prove his innocence; the prosecution still bore the burden of proof.
Motivazione estratta
The appellate court merely weighed the evidence and preferred the complainant's witness as more credible. Its remark about the accused not naming further exculpatory witnesses was only an observation on the course of proceedings, not a reversal of the burden of proof.
