Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellate court violated the right to be heard by refusing an expert opinion, original photos, and the Littenheid clinic report.
Decisão extraída
No violation: the requested evidence could be dispensed with in anticipatory assessment because the court already had sufficient evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
The knee injuries were compatible with both parties' versions, and the rape finding rested on the overall testimony assessment, not on the injuries. The clinic report would not meaningfully bear on the complainant's general credibility or the credibility of her specific account.
