Eugene Tan says some of the information provided to Justice Jamie Campbell at the original bail hearing was revealed to be “unreliable” in a subsequent preliminary hearing.

All evidence before the court is protected by a routine publication ban.

Campbell is expected to rule whether he will hear new evidence on the issue May 25.

Sandeson was charged with the first-degree murder of Taylor Samson on Aug. 20, 2015 and ordered to stand trial on March 29 following the preliminary hearing.
