The applicant applied for bail pending his retrial for first-degree murder.
He had previously been convicted, but the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial due to an error in refusing severance from his co-accused.
The court assessed the primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds for detention under s. 515(10) of the Criminal Code.
Finding that the applicant had no criminal record, strong community roots, a comprehensive release plan with six sureties, and that the Crown's case was not overwhelming, the court concluded that detention was not justified.
Bail was granted.
