Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the newly produced private expert reports, pluviometry data and cereal-reception records constituted serious new evidence warranting revision of the 2004 conviction.
Decisione estratta
The materials were not sufficiently new or serious to undermine the factual basis of the conviction; they amounted mainly to a different assessment and did not render a more favorable result sufficiently probable.
Motivazione estratta
A new report is revisional only if it discloses clear errors, rests on new knowledge or a different method, and is capable of shaking the original findings. The challenged reports were unconvincing on methodology, did not clearly disprove the fire experts' conclusions, and the weather/cereal documents were not decisive for the cause of the fire.
