would have caught
The phrase "But for the sudden power outage" implies a past unreal condition (meaning "If the power outage hadn't happened"). Therefore, the main clause requires a third conditional structure (would have + past participle).

The phrase "Given a second chance" refers to a hypothetical present or future situation ("If he were given a second chance"). Because we are talking about a hypothetical future result (and his bail is currently active), we use the second conditional (would + base verb).
