Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal appellate court arbitrarily assessed the evidence and identified the accused as the offender.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The Federal Court found the appellate court's doubt about identity to be unsustainable in light of the witness evidence and surrounding indications.
Fundamentação extraída
All three witnesses gave consistent descriptions, identified the accused in confrontation hearings, and maintained that they kept the vehicle in sight; the appellate court ignored the probative force of these statements and drew an untenable inference of possible confusion.
