Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court assessed the evidence arbitrarily or violated in dubio pro reo regarding the timing of alcohol consumption.
Extracted holding
No. The driver’s changing statements allowed the court to find his version not credible and to reject the claim that alcohol was consumed only after the accident.
Extracted reasoning
The Supreme Court held that the cantonal findings were supported by the record and did not rest on inadmissible burden-shifting or serious, irreducible doubt.
