Marco Souza, a 17 year-old, is charged with theft under $5000, possession of stolen goods over $5000 and breaching previous bail conditions. He has a previous conviction for dangerous driving and other outstanding charges. The crown is seeking a detention order on the basis of a reverse onus, but Marco has several people willing to act as his surety. This bail resource can be used for in-class instruction, as a homework exercise, or as the basis of a dramatized mock bail hearing activity.
