The accused, charged with first-degree murder, applied for judicial interim release.
The Crown opposed bail on the secondary and tertiary grounds under s. 515(10) of the Criminal Code.
The court found that the accused's proposed electronic monitoring plan sufficiently addressed the secondary ground by minimizing the risk to public safety.
However, the court denied bail on the tertiary ground, concluding that detention was necessary to maintain public confidence in the administration of justice due to the strength of the Crown's case, the gravity of the offence, and the accused's extensive criminal record.
