The applicant, charged with first-degree murder, sought a review of a detention order under s. 680 of the Criminal Code.
The reviewing judge upheld the detention on both the secondary and tertiary grounds.
The applicant had a history of violent behaviour and there were concerns for witness safety, justifying detention on the secondary ground.
Furthermore, the tertiary ground was met as the combined effect of the strength of the Crown's case and the circumstances of the offence made detention necessary to maintain public confidence in the administration of justice.
The application was dismissed.
