Facts of the Case
Background
Applicant, charged with two counts of armed robbery involving firearms, applied for bail pending trial. He surrendered to police six months after being sought, denies the allegations, and contends he is not a flight risk. The State opposes bail citing seriousness of offences, strong prima facie case, likelihood of absconding, and propensity to commit similar offences.
