Kernrechtsfrage
Whether pretrial detention was justified by a risk of flight
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Given the seriousness of the charges, the likely sentence, and the appellant's financial, medical, and family situation, a risk of flight could be inferred.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted that changed procedural circumstances allowed the cantonal authority to reassess the risk. The prospect of a lengthy custodial sentence, heavy debts, alcoholism, and strained family ties made the appellant objectively tempted to abscond; lesser assurances were insufficient.
