Prince of Wales Collegiate in St. John’s. - Telegram file photoST. JOHN'S, N.L. — The fourth teenager scheduled for a bail hearing for attempting to murder a St. John’s high school student earlier this month will stay in custody for now.
Greening, who also faces a charge of acting as an accessory for helping one of his co-accused escape, has orders to live at a specific Paradise address, abide by a midnight-to-6 a.m. curfew, stay away from Prince of Wales Collegiate and have no contact with a list of 35 people — including the three co-accused, the victim and his family, and certain PWC staff and students.
When it comes to youth, by law they can be denied bail only if the offence is a serious one punishable by a maximum of five years or more in prison, or the accused’s criminal history indicates a pattern, there’s reason to believe they wouldn’t show up for court as required or would commit a serious offence, or their detention is necessary to maintain public faith in the administration of justice, and no set of release conditions would mitigate those factors.
