Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily established the facts and violated the presumption of innocence.
Extracted holding
No. The circumstantial evidence, taken together, was sufficient and the appellant merely isolated the indicia one by one.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the lower court relied on several converging indicators that, viewed as a whole, excluded serious doubt about a fictitious theft; the appellant's alternative interpretation did not show arbitrariness.
