Questão jurídica principal
Whether continued pretrial detention remained proportionate pending appeal after the unconditional sentence had been served.
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
