Questão jurídica principal
Whether the challenge to detention based on allegedly unlawful covert police methods required release from custody
Decisão extraída
The Court held that, for detention review, the evidence from the police scheme was not clearly inadmissible prima facie and could be considered; the existence of serious suspicion was therefore sufficient to keep the appellant in custody.
Fundamentação extraída
In detention proceedings the court does not finally decide evidentiary admissibility; it only asks whether concrete indications of an offense and involvement exist. The operation by the police buyer was not obviously covered by the covert-investigation statute, and the merits of any exclusion question were for the trial court.
