Key legal question
Whether the conviction for coercion was arbitrary or violated the presumption of innocence because the evidence did not prove the defendant caused the power outage.
Extracted holding
The evidence supported the finding that the defendant cut off the electricity to the barn; the challenge was merely appellatory and did not show arbitrariness or serious doubt.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on consumption logs, witness statements, and the defendant's inconsistent explanations. The power draw remained above zero, pointing to continued consumption by the house, and a short circuit of the main fuses was excluded.
