The man, who is in his 50s, was convicted last fall of aggravated arson and received four years in prison, when he allegedly poured flammable liquid into the premises and set it on fire.
He believed, among other things, that it was an accident and appealed the district court’s verdict to the Svea Court of Appeal, which rejected the appeal – which the man and his lawyer were not satisfied with. They also appealed to the highest instance: the Supreme Court.
“The decision of the Court of Appeal thus stands”
Now the decision has come. “The Supreme Court does not issue leave to appeal. The Court of Appeal’s ruling thus stands. The Supreme Court has reviewed the material. No reason has been found to issue leave to appeal,” the Supreme Court writes in the decision.
