Vancouver time 2pm. The judge will announce his bail decision. -verano(Summer); 2018-12-11 (#11833394@0)
Judge goes over the state’s arguments. The main issue for why #MengWanzhou should not be granted bail, according to federal lawyers, is to ensure she attends court (does not flee) - as opposed to protect public or ensure she doesn’t commit crime. -verano(Summer); 2018-12-11 (#11833520@0)

if given bail. Judge adds he’s not convinced that Meng’s lack of travel to US since March 2017 necessarily means she knew of investigation into her.

By saying so, a bail sounds very likely. -verano(Summer); 2018-12-11 (#11833533@0)
