Key legal question
Whether the defendant was in a state of irresponsibility under Art. 19 CP, excluding intentional arson liability under Art. 263 CP.
Extracted holding
The findings did not show a grave impairment depriving him of the ability to understand unlawfulness or act accordingly; irresponsibility was not established.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal court found that although he had drunk a substantial amount, he remained able to stand, said he knew what he was doing, and gave precise accounts. The federal court treated the contrary arguments as impermissible attacks on the facts.
