Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal to hear a journalist in the recusal proceedings violated the right to be heard
Decisão extraída
The refusal was lawful because the proposed testimony was not relevant to whether objective grounds for bias existed.
Fundamentação extraída
The right to evidence extends only to decisive facts. Since the alleged media contact did not show that the accused's identity had been disclosed or that the contacts created an appearance of bias, the testimony could be refused.
