“...So I would like to hear the “facts” that makes that display into “liter” in a cemetery...”
It becomes litter in a cemetery when it is illegally placed on the contracted property of the family of Dr. Ford. It was requested not to be put there numerous times and the person not only ignored the request, but outright determined he was going to violate the law and made this knowledgeable to the attorney that told him not to put it there. What is on other locations in the cemetery is immaterial. That has nothing to do with Ford’s property and as it’s not Hagan’s property, he is leaving something that is not wanted and requested not to be there.
Littering means willful or negligent throwing, dropping, placing, depositing, or sweeping, allowing or causing such acts, of any litter on land or water, in other than appropriate storage containers or areas designated for such purpose.
He placed something not wanted on the land that was not designated by the person in control of it to be placed there.
“However, Ford provided photos of the different boxes, which showed them placed directly above the headstone, which showed them placed directly above the headstone
Not what I wrote but okay, we can play the game and break down what I did write:
“However, Ford provided photos of the different boxes, which showed them placed directly above the headstone, which was present in every image.”
He didn’t show the headstone picture in this one and never had to. He was showing the box and it was present in every picture. I equate your statement to trolling. Stay within the law and the world is your oyster. And when you make a point, make sure you are making one pertinent to what was written rather than changing it to fit your point.

No it doesn't.
As Abraham Lincoln said, "Just because you call a tail a leg, doesn't make it so."
Everyone knows what "litter" is. You take a million people and run them past that grave, and if you ask them "Is that litter?" They will say "no."
Your "definition" would require "Jury Instructions" in order to reach the notion that it is "litter".
It is a Frankenstein creation of legal people that bears no resemblance to reality.
A better argument would be to claim "trespass" as Ford is the owner of the grave. Calling it "litter" is just stupid.
