The applicant sought to quash a direct indictment for first-degree murder, alleging actual or apprehended bias by the Deputy Attorney General who preferred the indictment, lack of opportunity to be heard, and insufficient consideration of facts.
The court dismissed the application, finding no actual or reasonable apprehension of bias, no legal requirement for pre-indictment submissions (especially given flight risk concerns), and that the Deputy Attorney General was entitled to review material as deemed necessary.
