Syllabus

Petition for writ of habeas corpus, excessive bail, guilty plea, not sentenced, abuse of discretion, Crim.R. 46(H), R.C. 2725.05. The petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus on the basis that the amount of bail imposed by the trial court is excessive. However, there exists no constitutional right to bail after a judgment of conviction. Herein the petitioner plead guilty and is awaiting sentencing. Thus, he is not entitled to bail since he plead guilty. Finally, even if entitled to bail, we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by reducing bail from $500,000 to $100,000. Petition denied.
