## Summary

A former judge and King’s Counsel predicts that Sam Wood may be granted bail at a hearing on 17 November, after two earlier applications failed. The article says he has been in custody for more than six weeks and reports that the barrister believes strict conditions could manage the risks raised by prosecutors and Wood’s estranged family.

The proposed conditions include staying out of Victoria, using only one mobile phone, avoiding encrypted apps and social media, reporting regularly to police, abstaining from alcohol and drugs, and submitting to spot tests. A $1 million surety has reportedly been offered. The article also recounts that Wood’s wife, Snezana, told police she feared retribution and described an alleged choking incident; the charges remain allegations.
