Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant could be held as co-author of negligent arson
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Co-authorship requires intentional collaboration; it is not conceivable for an offence committed by negligence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower court applied the concept of co-authorship incorrectly. The appellant could at most be considered as a direct author if his own conduct fulfilled the offence, but the fire was caused by another adolescent's spark, and no joint intentional participation in the decisive act was established.
