News Summary

According to news reports, a pharmacist surnamed Chen in Tamsui, New Taipei City, is suspected of drugging a female college student's water drink, causing her to experience dizziness, coma, and memory loss after drinking it. After searching and questioning him, the prosecutor believes that he is suspected of deceiving someone into administering a Schedule III drug, aggravated rape, and attempted indecent assault, and has applied to the court for his detention on the grounds that there is a risk of destroying evidence.

Lawyer Li Yusheng explains

The prosecution also believes that the defendant has already destroyed evidence and that his testimony has been inconsistent. If the possibility of future destruction of evidence, collusion, or recidivism cannot be ruled out, the court finds that detention is warranted.DetentionThe necessary probability will increase.
