Can't see any bailed,guess everyone of them was either a flight risk,on bail already,a continuing risk to witnesses or others,history of breaching bail or for their own safety,unless there was insufficient time to assess,due to the rapid process.Can't believe none were challenged. Have looked and far as I can see nothing has changed to allow this.Hope there was no pressure.There used to be some when the prison spaces were short,but we never went outside the law to accommodate this.Happy to be corrected/educated
