Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant committed negligent arson under Art. 222(1) StGB.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Given the attic's age, the visible insulation, and his knowledge and abilities, he had to foresee that igniting the spider web could spread fire to the roof insulation and cause a blaze.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the defendant could and should have foreseen the chain of events. His act was unnecessary and risky; the use of fire in the attic exceeded the permitted risk.
