Prosecutor Frank van Heerden indicated that the State opposed their release on bail because the vehicle was worth more than R100 000, pushing on the realms of a Section 5 offence. This means the onus is on the accused must show good reason why they should be released. McKernon focused on the fact that the Stanfields are married and have two children who are in the care of their grandmother, who also has to work. In addition, Nicole had an emergency operation the day before she was arrested, and needs further medical care.
The court ordered that no pictures could be taken of the accused in court until their lawyer is able to respond to an application for permission to take pictures in court.
