Prosecutors argued Wednesday that an Ontario judge “speculated and drew inferences” not grounded in evidence when he granted bail to a Toronto-area lawyer accused of advising the murder of a federal witness in an alleged international drug smuggling ring.

Lawyers for the Attorney General of Canada are asking the Court of Appeal for Ontario to order that 62-year-old Deepak Paradkar be detained until his extradition hearing.
