This message from the Justice minister is misleading in my opinion. Why is the presumption that the law is being incorrectly applied? How about acknowledging that the risk assessment for bail is based on law but offers no guarantees as to whether an individual will reoffend or not. We start from the presumption of innocence and our charter protected right to reasonable bail, and then assess the plans and submissions from counsel.
