Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants are charged with armed robbery under the Criminal Law (Codification Reform) Act. They applied for bail pending trial, arguing they are men of fixed abode with family responsibilities and that a co-accused was granted bail. The State opposed, citing the seriousness of the offense, the strength of the evidence linking the applicants to the crime (including recovery of vehicles and cash from proceeds of the robbery), and the risk of absconding and interfering with investigations.
