Key legal question
Whether continued pre-trial detention was justified by collusion risk
Extracted holding
Yes. Given the ongoing investigation, the personal relationship to the main witness, the witness's fear, and the accused's violent and intimidating behavior, the risk of interference was constitutionally sufficient.
Extracted reasoning
The court required concrete indications, not merely a theoretical possibility. It relied on the stage of the proceedings, the pending confrontation hearing, the accused's prior conduct, and the specific risk of pressure on the victim-witness.
