Facts of the Case
Background
The accused, detained for two years without trial on four counts of armed robbery, applied for bail. He was arrested after phone contact with a co-accused already in custody; no evidence linked him to the robberies at the time of arrest. The State opposed bail citing flight risk and danger to society.
