The accused applied for a bail review under s. 520 of the Criminal Code following a detention order based on the secondary ground.
He argued the Justice of the Peace erred in assessing the strength of the Crown's case and presented a new release plan as a material change in circumstances.
The court found no error by the Justice of the Peace.
While the new release plan constituted a change in circumstances, the court held that the accused's extensive criminal record, lack of treatment for substance abuse, and the unsuitability of the proposed residence and surety justified his continued detention on the secondary ground.
The application for judicial interim release was denied.
