Which is relevant at a bail hearing in what way?

Again, this was _not_ a trial.  The case never got to trial-- he was
just being remanded, and _not_ for murder, but for the SV charge tied
to the possession of the jacket.  All this that you mention would be a
matter of fact for a jury and a trial, not a point of law for a judge
and a bail hearing.

The confusion could arise from different legal systems; I'm not sure
how things are done in Canada, or the Phillipines, or other parts of
the world, for that matter.

Why would Snapp kill him if Martin didn't have anything that tied to
Snapp?

Also, another reason why Martin wouldn't reveal the undercover plan is
that he would have to prove it.  The only proof he has is the chip in
his neck-- and the chip is the only thing that would keep him alive
should Snapp send someone to kill him.  And since Martin had no
evidence on the ADA even if he did prove the undercover assignment--
not a single scrap against Fisk, even afterwards-- risking his life
to, in the end, accomplish nothing seems highly illogical. :-)
