Key legal question
Whether continued security detention was justified by flight risk after the first-instance conviction.
Extracted holding
Flight risk was not sufficiently concrete; the appellate authority relied too one-sidedly on the prosecution's higher sentence request and failed to account for the conviction's limited factual basis and the appellant's incentives to appear.
Extracted reasoning
The expected sentence alone is insufficient. Concrete facts must make flight probable, and here the appellant had reasons to participate in the appeal hearing. Her unstable lifestyle and foreign ties made flight possible, but not likely enough.
