Legislator summary

AI generated

The Eastern High Court upheld the district court's order to hand over a letter from the accused to a co-accused. The defense argued the letter contained sensitive information, but the court found it lacked specific details about the case or statements made by either party. Consequently, the court determined there was insufficient basis to conclude that disclosure would harm the investigation under section 772 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

Byrettens kendelse blev stadfæstet

[DOKUMENT] Afgørelse (2 sider) UDSKRIFT AF ØSTRE LANDSRETS DOMBOG ____________ KENDELSE

Afsagt den 4. november 2009 af Østre Landsrets 11. afdeling (landsdommerne Mikael Sjöberg, Jon Fridrik Kjølbro og Anne Louise Bormann).

11. afd. kære nr. S-3000-09: Anklagemyndigheden mod Sigtede

( CPR nr. ) (advokat Mette Grith Stage)

Anklagemyndigheden har kæret Svendborg Rets kendelse af 21. oktober 2009 (R4- 2019/2009), hvorefter politiet snarest skal aflevere brev af 27. september 2009 fra Sigtede til Medsigtede .

Forsvareren har indgivet kæresvarskrift.

Det tiltrædes, at spørgsmålet burde have været forelagt retten på et væsentligt tidligere tidspunkt.

Brevet fra Sigtede indeholder ikke konkrete oplysninger om sagen eller om de af Sigtede eller Medsigtede afgivne forklaringer. Brevet indeholder heller ingen trusler, anmodninger eller henstillinger til Medsigtede om, hvad Sigtede ønsker, at hun skal forklare. På den baggrund tiltræder landsretten, at der ikke er tilstrækkeligt grundlag for at antage, at udlevering af brevet til Sigtede vil kunne være til skade for efterforskningen, jf. retsplejelovens § 772, hvorfor bestemmes:

Byrettens kendelse stadfæstes.
