A decision should come down Friday on whether the woman accused of first-degree murder in the killing of Jennifer Horne will receive bail.

A bail hearing is set for Friday at Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax for Ashley Haley, one of two people accused in the killing of Horne 39 months ago. The Crown is opposed to Haley’s release.

Haley and her common-law partner Desmond Maguire are each facing first-degree murder charges in the death of Horne, a 20-year-old Cole Harbour woman found dead in their apartment Dec. 31, 2007.

Both Haley and Maguire have been in jail since being arrested.
