A Kaohsiung man who killed a motorcyclist while drunk had his bail request rejected for a third time, a win for prosecutors and the victim's family.

• Chiang Cheng-nan was caught drink-driving in 2020 and again in 2021, then hit and killed a woman on a motorbike last September while heavily over the limit.
• His lawyer asked the court to release him on a small bail bond so he could work and earn money to pay a settlement.
• The judge threw that out, saying his wish to earn settlement money has nothing to do with why he is being held.
• The charge carries at least five years in prison, and the court found a real risk he would run.

Outlook: He stays locked up as the case moves toward trial, with further detention extensions likely.
