Vic:Moran fails in bail bid

Gangland widow JUDY MORAN has been refused bail for a second time following allegations
she planned to fix up a witness in her trial for murdering brother-in-law DES MORAN.

Wheelchair bound MORAN argued she should be bailed because her time in custody is onerous
due to an injured hip and media publicity.

But the court heard police had recorded telephone conversations in which MORAN threatened
to fix up a witness when she was granted bail.

Deputy Chief Magistrate JELENA POPOVIC told 64 year MORAN yesterday her bail application
didn't go well and she doesn't have exceptional circumstances.

Earlier this month MORAN was committed to stand trial for the murder of Mr MORAN who
was gunned down at an Ascot Vale cafe last June.
