Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint sufficiently substantiated arbitrariness and violation of the presumption of innocence regarding the rape findings
Decisão extraída
The complaint did not meet the substantiation requirements and, in any event, the appellate court's evidentiary assessment was not arbitrary and did not violate the presumption of innocence.
Fundamentação extraída
The federal court held that mere disagreement with the appellate court's reliance on the complainant's statements was appellatory criticism. The Chlamydia finding, phone calls, and medical evidence supported the conclusion that at least one intercourse had occurred, and the defense did not show why these findings were arbitrary.
