Court documents show that one of the two people facing a first-degree murder charge in his death, Randall McKenzie, had been initially denied bail in a separate case involving assault and weapons charges but was released after a review. The letter from premiers notes a growing number of calls for changes to prevent accused people who are out on bail from committing further criminal acts.“The justice system fundamentally needs to keep anyone who poses a threat to public safety off the streets,” it reads.
The letter notes that the matter was “the subject of an intense discussion” at an October meeting of justice and public safety ministers from across the country, held in Nova Scotia.
