Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, charged with robbery involving a firearm, applied for bail pending trial. He denied involvement in the robbery at Lone Mine where 200kg of gold carbons and a 303 rifle were stolen. The State opposed bail, arguing he was a flight risk with a strong prima facie case against him.
