Facts of the Case
Background
Two security guards applied for bail pending trial for murder. The second applicant was granted bail after the State conceded he did not fire the fatal shot. The first applicant's bail was denied as he allegedly fired the fatal shot at a fleeing deceased, creating a high likelihood of a custodial sentence and flight risk.
