“The police would have to establish that … the applicant was aware of all the elements of the kidnapping, which is an issue, in order to participate in that kidnapping and direct that kidnapping. The evidence does not support that,” said the accused’s lawyer, Greg Goold.
Another accused, Son Minh Nguyen, put in a bail application while being charged for playing a pivotal role in the entire incident. The court has also seen the text messages between him and an undercover operative presented as evidence by the cops. However, Michael Connell has postponed the accused’s application and a decision on the same would be taken on May 19.
