Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily assessed the evidence by preferring the defendant's initial statements over later retraction and an email message.
Extracted holding
No arbitrariness was shown; the cantonal court reasonably found the initial statements more credible and could treat the email as unreliable.
Extracted reasoning
The court made an overall assessment of the evidence, found the first statements detailed and consistent with the fire investigation, and gave persuasive reasons to doubt the email and the later retraction.
