Questão jurídica principal
Whether the lower courts violated the right to be heard or assessed evidence arbitrarily by refusing psychiatric/medical expertise and further evidence on alleged alcohol dependence and diminished responsibility.
Decisão extraída
The complaint was insufficiently reasoned and remained merely appellatory; the Federal Court would not review the factual challenge and saw no basis for further evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant did not engage with the appellate court's detailed reasoning and only repeated his own version. The complaint therefore failed the substantiation requirements; the evidentiary refusal was upheld on the basis of anticipatory assessment.
