Key legal question
Whether continued pretrial detention remained proportionate pending appeal after the unconditional sentence had been served.
Extracted holding
Yes. The first-instance sentence was comparatively low; the prosecution sought a substantially higher sentence on appeal, so the custody did not yet lie in close temporal proximity to the sentence likely to be imposed.
Extracted reasoning
For detention proportionality, the court looked to the sentence concretely expected on appeal, not only the first-instance term. Because the prosecution appealed on sentencing and the defendant could face a significantly higher term, continued detention was still justified.
