Questione giuridica chiave
Did the cantonal appellate judgment violate the presumption of innocence and in dubio pro reo by relying on uncertain witness identifications?
Decisione estratta
No. The appellate court assessed the identifications together with the full evidentiary record, including prior statements, credibility concerns, the appellant's inconsistent alibi, and corroborating indicia; no serious remaining doubt was shown.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Supreme Court held that in dubio pro reo as a rule of evidence is breached only if, on objective assessment, serious and unavoidable doubts remain. Review for arbitrariness is limited and the challenged assessment was reasoned, internally consistent, and plausible. The differing treatment of another count was justified by a documented alibi and therefore was not arbitrary.
