Legislator summary

AI generated

The court upheld the decision that the hunting rifle was not confiscated because the defendant used it during a truce period for minor poaching. The prosecution argued the weapon should be lost to the state, but the court found no aggravating circumstances or intent to harm. Consequently, the rifle was returned to the owner as the offense did not warrant confiscation under the law.

Koska A, joka oli tuomittu rangaistukseen siitä, että hän oli rauhoitusaikana ampunut haulikolla koppelon, ei ollut sanotussa luvattomassa riistan pyydystämisessä ampunut mukanaan olleella metsästyskiväärillä rauhoitettua riistaa eivätkä asianhaarat muutoinkaan olleet raskauttavat, metsästyskivääriä ei julistettu valtiolle menetetyksi.
