Facts of the Case

Background

Three accused persons applied for bail after being denied by the Magistrates Court on three counts of stock theft. They allegedly stole cattle and fraudulently cleared them with police using someone else's stock cards. The magistrate denied bail fearing they would abscond given the strength of the State case and severity of potential sentence.
