Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal court violated the presumption of innocence / in dubio pro reo by upholding the conviction on the evidence
Decisão extraída
No. The Federal Supreme Court held that the cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, consider the evidence sufficient and need not have retained a serious, insurmountable doubt.
Fundamentação extraída
The challenge merely substituted the appellant’s version of events for the canton’s assessment. Given the short time between her leaving the shop and the appearance of high flames, the presence of inflammable products, the locked premises, and the exclusion of accidental ignition or third-party intervention, the finding that she was the source of the fire was not arbitrary.
