In a Regional Trial Court, the accused, Diego M., a security guard, is charged with murder for the fatal shooting of a bystander during a neighborhood altercation. A CCTV recording clearly shows the act, and three eyewitnesses identify him as the shooter. The prosecution moves for denial of bail under Rule 114, Section 5. (a) Identify the bail-negating circumstance(s) present under Rule 114, Section 5. (b) State the governing rule on bail in capital offenses where the evidence of guilt is strong. (c) Apply the rule to this scenario and determine whether bail should be denied or granted, with a brief justification.
