A judicial interim release hearing for a 17-year-old charged with aggravated assault, robbery while armed with a firearm, discharging a firearm with intent to wound, possession of a dangerous weapon, and failing to comply with a peace bond.
The Crown sought detention on secondary and tertiary grounds.
The court found jurisdiction to consider detention as the accused was charged with serious offences.
The court rejected the proposed release plan with two sureties (the accused's father and aunt), finding that the sureties lacked adequate knowledge of the accused's criminal history, showed insufficient commitment to supervision, and that no conditions could adequately protect the public.
The court ordered the accused detained in custody pending trial.
