What trope did his legal throw out to the judge to get him bail?

As bad as the whole situation is, I think the outcome would be the same (perpetrator released on bail) if the victim was a normal member of the public.
I don’t think public figures should be getting preferential treatment from public services. What’s next, they get to skip to the top of the public waiting list for health issues?
Everyone gets bailed when there’s nowhere to put them.
[Not his first rodeo either](https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-20461650.html)
The article itself makes clear that bail was allowed after a set of discussion between gardai and the defence.
Simon Harris himself must be at home with his wife talking amongst themselves saying what a fucking joke this place has become.
Imagine making those threats, after everything that’s gone on and its ah sure it’s grand, he’s to go home and give his ma a cup of tea and cut her toenails. Just stay off the Internet.
Surely not being able to go home and look after his mother is the consequences of what he’s done? He wasn’t thinking of his mother when making threats to kill innocent kids.
Obligatory call for more prisons…
Honestly lads I’m seriously debating packing the job in and becoming a career scumbag because unless you get caught with a couple bales of drugs or murder your not going inside 🤣🤣
Sure didn’t they give bail to that fella who stabbed a French teacher in Cork a few weeks back.
He then goes on to murder his partner.
No a single fuck given, this country is a joke.
Oh no what if he comments again? 😂
Seriously what will this society become if we start putting folks to jail based on social media comments? I thought only the Russians and Chinese are doing this shit.
Joke of a legal justice system.
Suspended sentence or no sentence owing to “mental health reasons”.
This might actually be the thing that drives justice reform in this country.
So then what’s his line of defence going to be?
Stress looking after his mother probably.
