Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the prosecutor's request to close the courtroom for questioning two minor defendants. Although the prosecutor argued that the defendants' young age and the nature of the charges warranted a closed session, the court found no legal basis for this measure. Consequently, the court ruled that the conditions for closing the doors under the Criminal Procedure Act were not met.

Landsrettens kendelse om, at der var ikke grundlag for at træffe bestemmelse om dørlukning som sket

[DOKUMENT] Retsbog med kendelse (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE

Det forbydes offentligt at gengive de anholdtes navn, stilling eller bopæl eller på anden måde offentliggøre deres identitet.

Afsagt den 21. juni 2011 af Østre Landsrets 3. afdeling (landsdommerne Norman E. Cleaver, Ejler Bruun og Lise Leth-Nissen (kst.)).

3. afd. kære nr. S-1757-11: Anklagemyndigheden mod 1) Sigtede 1, tidligere Anholdte 1 (cpr.nr. Født 1994) (advokat Peter Giersing, besk.) 2) Sigtede 2, tidligere Anholdte 2 (cpr.nr. Født 1995) (advokat Peter Giersing, besk.)

Journalist Person 3 har kæret Frederiksberg Rets kendelse af 8. juni 2011 (2- 3918/2011), hvorved der med henvisning til sigtelsens karakter samt de sigtedes unge alder skete dørlukning, jf. retsplejelovens § 29, stk. 3, nr. 1.

Journalist Person 3 har indgivet kæreskrift af 10. juni 2011. Det anføres i kæreskriftet, at der ikke bør ske dørlukning alene med henvisning til de sigtedes unge alder.

Landsretten finder det efter sigtelsens karakter ikke så belastende for de sigtede at afgive forklaring, at dette på grund af deres unge alder skal ske for lukkede døre. D e sigtede må

herved anses for tilstrækkeligt værnet ved det nedlagte navneforbud. Betingelserne for dørlukning, jf. retsplejelovens § 29, stk. 3, nr. 1, var derfor ikke til stede.

Thibestemmes:

Der var ikke grundlag for at træffe bestemmelse om dørlukning som sket.
