This decision concerns a 90-day review of a detention order under s. 525 of the Criminal Code.

The accused, Mohammad Khodadad, previously denied bail, sought release.

The court, applying R. v. Myers, confirmed that the onus is not on the accused at this stage, even if a reverse onus applied initially.

Despite this, the court found the accused's continued detention justified on both secondary (public safety due to substantial likelihood of re-offending, strong Crown case, and unreliable surety) and tertiary grounds (maintaining confidence in the administration of justice given the gravity of the firearm-related charges, strong Crown case, and significant criminal record).

The application for release was dismissed.
