Background
Three applicants, including two police officers, applied for bail pending trial on charges of armed robbery committed in aggravating circumstances. They allegedly robbed a complainant of USD$248,664 and cellphones after firing a shot to stop the victim's vehicle. Ballistic evidence linked a police-issued pistol to the crime scene, and fingerprints matched the applicants.
