Key legal question
Whether the special ground of repeat-offense risk justified pretrial detention under Art. 221(1)(c) StPO.
Extracted holding
Yes. Serious further offenses were seriously to be feared, based on repeated similar conduct, escalating severity, and the fatal accident.
Extracted reasoning
Prior convictions and the new allegations showed a persistent pattern of dangerous drunk driving, flight from accident scenes, and escalating harm; the risk concerned serious crimes or offenses, not minor infractions.
