Legislator summary

AI generated

The Eastern High Court dismissed the defendant's appeal against the District Court's order for a psychiatric examination. The defense argued that the defendant should not be examined due to insufficient evidence of schizotypal disorder and a desire to collaborate on an alternative investigation under Section 808 of the Criminal Procedure Act. The court rejected these arguments, ruling that the lower court's decision to order the examination was correct and binding.

Byrettens kendelse om mentalundersøgelse stadfæstes

[DOKUMENT] Dom (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS RETSBOG ____________

Den 28. juni 2021 holdt Østre Landsret møde i retsbygningen, Bredgade 59, København.

Som dommere fungerede landsdommerne Lene Jensen, Mikael Sjöberg og Sune Dalgaard-Nielsen (kst.), førstnævnte som rettens formand.

Der foretoges

25. afd. nr. S-1715-21: Anklagemyndigheden mod Tiltalte (CPR nr., f. 2003) (advokat Martin Utiger, besk.)

Ingen var indkaldt eller mødt.

Tiltalte har kæret Retten i Hillerøds kendelse af 18. juni 2021 (8-4505/2020) om ambulant mentalundersøgelse.

Der fremlagdes udskrift af retsbogen, rettens fremsendelsesbrev af 21. juni 2021 samt kæ-reskrift af 24. juni 2021 fra den beskikkede forsvarer, advokat Martin Utiger.

Forsvareren har i kæreskriftet anført bl.a., at Tiltalte ikke skal mentalunder-søges, idet der ikke foreligger tilstrækkelige lægelige oplysninger til, at han skulle have den påståede skizotypiske lidelse, og at Tiltalte ønsker at samarbejde med Kriminalforsorgen om at udarbejde en undersøgelse efter retsplejelovens § 808.

Sagens akter var til stede.

Efter votering afsagdes

kendelse:

Landsretten er enig i byrettens resultat og begrundelsen herfor. Det i kæreskriftet anførte kan ikke føre til en anden vurdering.

Landsretten stadfæster derfor byrettens kendelse.

Thibestemmes:

Byrettens kendelse stadfæstes.

Sagen sluttet.

Retten hævet.
