Key legal question
Whether the preventive detention remained justified under cantonal law for security reasons.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court held that the conditions for detention under § 67(2) StPO were still met because a concrete danger of serious violence persisted.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had previously made violent threats and self-justice statements; the cantonal court could rely on the existing record, and the later assertion of restraint after 26 November 2002 was a new fact inadmissible in the federal proceedings.
