Blackman added that the penalty attached to the offence should be a consideration, as well as the nature of the offence.The man who was unrepresented by counsel did not submit a request for bail and the Magistrate thereby upheld the objections of the prosecution and denied bail.Simon is now a remanded prisoner who is awaiting his next court hearing which is scheduled for January 9, 2014.
