How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that the severity of the potential punishment acts as a surrogate for a high risk of flight
  • requiring that the State prove violations by a preponderance of the evidence, and that the court find that there is a nexus between such violations and a disruption of the prosecution to hold without bail under § 7575(2)
  • “Our constitutional values require that liberty is and must remain the norm and detention prior to trial or without trial is the carefully limited exception.” (quotation omitted)
  • although § 7575(1) providing for revocation of bail if defendant intimidates or harasses a victim is consistent with traditional constitutional protections, trial court failed to find that the complaining witness was harassed or intimidated
  • rejecting revocation of conditions of release when violation was trespassing
