The accused applied for a bail review based on a material change in circumstances, proposing release to a substance abuse treatment centre.
The Justice of the Peace had previously denied bail on secondary and tertiary grounds.
The court found a material change in circumstances, applying the Palmer criteria as adopted by St. Cloud, and determined that the new plan involving 24/7 monitoring and addiction treatment at Harvest House addressed the secondary and tertiary grounds, maintaining public confidence in the administration of justice.
Bail was granted with conditions.
