I think I want to come back to one way in which I have described the bail hearing—it's not my own description, but it's a common description—that it is an imperfect risk assessment. I tried to find the actual transcripts, but I couldn't find them before this. As I understand it, and I may be paraphrasing, it was described as iffy or as a close call on the bail review that led to that release.
What does that tell us? It tells us that this individual did not necessarily need an additional reverse onus to be detained. That may not have made the difference. It was already very close. Without knowing what the specific judge was looking at in that case, it's hard for me to say that, well, this would have led to circumstances that could have saved the officer's life.
The challenge we face in bail is that we're not able to say whether this was a right or wrong decision. It's a risk assessment. What the judges are all striving to do is achieve that balance of protecting the public but upholding our constitutional rights.
