“If this is correct it helps to make more sense out of the story, but it should still never have gotten to the “conviction” phase. The judge should have told him to clean it up and stop doing it and then the judge should have dismissed the case.”
I am OK with the small fine and court costs.
The photo of the cemetery looks similar to my families. His boxes were not IAW rules and looked out of place.
I don't consider $300.00 to be a small fine. I also think court costs can be pretty expensive nowadays. I seem to recall they were $85.00 for municipal court the last time I heard.
But why do people have to add pain to someone, even if they are in the wrong? Why is there no common sense or "heart" to these actions?

A lot of people nowadays can't tell "tacky" when they see it. If the father cleaned it up 10 times, then the court should have handled it, but they should have handled it better than they did.
