The accused sought a review of a detention order under s. 520 of the Criminal Code following his arrest for firearms and drug offences.
He had been detained on the tertiary ground.
The accused presented fresh evidence regarding his willingness to live with his estranged father under strict house arrest conditions, which the court accepted as a material change in circumstances under the Palmer test.
The court found that a reasonable person's confidence in the administration of justice would not be undermined by his release, given the strict bail plan including a $30,000 bond, GPS ankle monitoring, and a capable surety.
The detention order was vacated and the accused was released.
