Judicial interim release granted for accused charged with second-degree murder on stringent surety conditions.
The applicant, charged with second-degree murder, sought judicial interim release under s. 522 of the Criminal Code.
The Crown conceded that the primary and secondary grounds for detention were not engaged but argued for detention under the tertiary ground due to the gravity of the offence and the applicant's post-offence conduct.
The court found that the applicant had no prior criminal record, was not prone to violence, and proposed a stringent release plan with substantial sureties.
The court concluded that a reasonable member of the public would not lose confidence in the administration of justice if the applicant were released, and granted the application for bail.
