Legislator summary

AI generated

The court reversed the district court's order for pretrial detention, mandating the defendant's release. The defendant argued for continued custody, but the court determined the single offense under Section 119 of the Penal Code was not serious enough to justify restricting liberty. Consequently, the court applied Section 762, Paragraph 2, Number 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, ruling that public prosecution interests did not require the defendant to remain on bail.

Den 22. juli 2017 har byretten afsagt kendelse om varetægtsfængsling af Sigtede i medfør af retsplejelovens § 762, stk. 2, nr. 2.

Kendelsen er kæret af Sigtede.

Landsretten afsagde

K e n d e l s e:

Sigtelsen angår en enkeltstående episode omfattet af straffelovens § 119, stk. 1.

Lovovertrædelsen er herefter og efter det i øvrigt foreliggende ikke af en sådan karakter, at hensynet til retshåndhævelsen skønnes at kræve, at Sigtede ikke er på fri fod, jf. retsplejelovens § 762, stk. 2, nr. 2.

Sigtede skal derfor løslades. / T h i b e s t e m m e s:

Sigtede skal løslades. Sagen sluttet.
