A Supreme Court judge will decide if the man accused of murdering Australian DJ, Chris Bradley, will be eligible for bail.
As Northern Star reports, the accused, Javen O'Neill, appeared in Lismore Local Court today where his lawyer made a bail application that was opposed by police and the Department of Public Prosecutions.
While bail was granted by the Local Court registrar, the prosecution lodged a stay of proceedings under Section 40 of the NSW Bail Act, which elevates the decision to the Supreme Court.
