Homicide Bail - R v ESS

2022 ONCA 222

Mr. SS was charged with homicide. Counsel applied for him to be released from custody to await his trial on an exceptionally strong plan. The Superior Court Judge detained Mr. SS on the basis that his sureties would not be able to control him if he was released. Counsel appealed this to the Court of Appeal for Ontario where the Chief Justice of Ontario agreed that the Superior Court Judge has made an error. Mr. SS was released to be supervised in the community while awaiting his trial for a homicide.
