Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellate court made an arbitrary factual finding by holding that vegetation dormancy had ended on the relevant meadow on 11 February 2008 due to a local microclimate.
Decisione estratta
The finding was manifestly untenable; the record photo and temperatures showed no green pasture and no basis for assuming a microclimate that interrupted dormancy.
Motivazione estratta
The prosecution sufficiently pointed to objective evidence contradicting the finding; the photo still showed visible slurry eight days later, and temperature data did not support plant growth conditions.
