Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn has lost his bid for bail as he awaits a retrial for the alleged murder of an elderly camper.
The 59-year-old made the bid for release after the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction late last year.
His defence team argued that the "exceptional circumstances" of the case meant Mr Lynn should be bailed to live with his son, who volunteered to put up his life savings as a surety.
During last week's bail application, defence barrister Dermot Dann argued Mr Lynn's time in custody before his conviction was among the exceptional circumstances weighing in favour of bail, alongside widespread "sensational" media coverage had "totally obliterated" the possibility of a fair trial in the foreseeable future.

The former pilot accused of killing camper Carol Clay and burning her remains in the High Country will remain in prison after being refused bail.
Greg Lynn, 59, was granted a retrial in December over allegations he fatally shot Clay, a 73-year-old retiree, in the head as she camped in the Wonnangatta Valley with friend Russell Hill, 74, in March 2020.
His legal team argued he should be released back into the community while awaiting the outcome of a fresh trial.
During a hearing last week, defence barrister Dermot Dann, KC, argued his client could live with his eldest son, Geordie Lynn, who owned a property he was also willing to offer up as a surety to guarantee his father’s release.
