He was remanded in custody for a week, after which he is due to appear at Bristol crown court. But the court was told today that he may also attend the crown court tomorrow for a bail hearing. A plea and case management hearing was scheduled for 29 April.
Paul Cook, representing Tabak, confirmed that his client wished to apply for bail and would be present for that application tomorrow.
At the end of the hearing, the chairman of the bench, William Summers, told Tabak to stand. Summers said: "You will appear before the crown court tomorrow for a bail application hearing." Tabak was handcuffed and led away.
so what exactly do the police have on him? he must be challenging it
surely his solicitor would advise him not to if the case against him was so strong and to try a plea bargain.
