The reasoning of Morris’ decision is covered under a publication ban, as were all the details and evidence presented during the hearing.

The ruling comes a week after Morris reserved his decision to review evidence and proceedings from the two-day long bail hearing.

Fahlman has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to 44-year-old Tanya Myers death.

He is also facing a charge of intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless to the safety of another person.

Fahlman sat stoic, occasionally furrowing his brow and shaking his head, during the two days of court proceedings.

More than a dozen people in the gallery wiped away tears during certain parts of the court proceedings.

RCMP said that Myers was travelling as a passenger in an SUV when she was shot and killed on Highway 39 northwest of Weyburn, in September.

Andrea Morrice has since identified herself as the driver of the vehicle and Myers friend.

“It feels like I’ve been shot,” Morrice recalled Myers saying.

RCMP have confirmed that another vehicle was struck by gunfire during the same incident.

In a statement from Myers family, Tanya was described as an “amazing healer” who had a fondness of cats.

“She was the best mom to her nine cats. She rarely left home because she had an extensive care routine for her kitties. So this day out of town was rare for her,” said the family’s statement.

The family said Myers death would leave a gaping hole in their lives and the lives of her cats.

Fahlman was arrested on Gordon Road in Regina nearly two months after police began investigating Myers death at the beginning of November.

The Crown dropped manslaughter and three gun-related charges related to Fahlman last week, and laid the current charges he’s facing now.
