Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal of release from pre-trial detention for repetition risk was lawful.
Decisione estratta
The detention order was lawful because the accused had already committed numerous serious offenses and there were concrete grounds to fear he would reoffend.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that prior convictions and the pending drug offenses could be counted as multiple serious crimes; the repetition-risk ground is to be applied restrictively but is met where relapse prognosis is very unfavorable and serious offenses are likely.
