The application for bail pending appeal is refused because the applicant failed to show the appeal is likely to succeed: the chain of custody was not a live issue at trial and was effectively admitted, the applicant did not meet the high burden to establish flagrant incompetence of counsel that would have undermined the fairness of the trial, and the seriousness of the offence, prior conviction and high likelihood of retrial weighed against granting bail.
