Govt considers denying bail for murder accused

Justice Minister Simon Power says he is seriously considering denying bail to prisoners facing murder charges.

This should also apply to those arraigned on sexual offences, particularly, rape ... as stress/ anxiety are often a precursor for such behaviour, and stress/anxiety are what are experienced given almost certain incarceration... and violent offending ... or indeed on any offending in which a lengthy prison sentence is inevitable ... for with concurrent sentencing, what happens in the interim is of little consequence.
