What do you need to do to not get bail?

According to this report, despite having convictions for:

Sexual offences
Possesion of cannibas for supply
Fraud
Theft

And being charged with the Murder of his lover, a Judge thought Michael Curran would be suitable to be bailed and live in the community. And then he went and murdered a two-year-old girl of a neighbour (with whom he was having affair.)

The evidence supporting the first charge (of which Curran was found guilty of manslaughter) included an admission that he inadvertently caused the death of Natasha Hayden by strangling her.

On balance, the Judge should have seen that at least a Manslaughter conviction was like to be obtained - so should have denied bail.

We all make mistakes. But the Judge who granted bail to Curran failed so completely that you wonder why they haven't been removed from the bench.
