  • The seriousness of the offense committed by the accused.
  • The strength of the evidence presented against the accused.
  • Whether the accused poses a flight risk or is likely to tamper with evidence.
  • The potential harm or danger the accused may pose to society or witnesses.
  • The likelihood of the accused obstructing the course of justice if released on bail.
