Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusal to order a credibility expert examination violated the right to be heard and a fair trial.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was permissible because no special circumstances required expert assessment of the complainant's credibility; the lower court reasonably found no indications of mental impairment or external influence affecting truthfulness.
Motivazione estratta
Credibility assessment is primarily for the court. A credibility expert is only needed in exceptional cases. The appellate court addressed the PTSD diagnosis and relied on the treating physician's assessment and the complainant's coherent testimony; its discretion was not exceeded.
