KKO 843/2022
KI-generiert
Supreme Court dismissed appeal regarding evidence evaluation in rape case where victim's testimony was deemed insufficient without corroborating evidence.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the lower court's decision to reject the victim's testimony as the sole evidence in a rape prosecution. The prosecution argued the testimony was credible, while the defense contended it lacked independent corroboration required for conviction. The court ruled that without corroborating evidence, the testimony alone could not establish the necessary certainty for a criminal conviction under Finnish law.
