California Court of Appeal

Reversing the bail determination in a case that discusses concerns regarding the impact of the state's bail system on poor defendants, finding that the detention of a man prior to trail due to his financial inability to post bail in a case where the prosecutor failed to present evidence that non-monetary conditions of release would not sufficiently protect victim or public safety and the bail amount, impossible for the petitioner to pay, constituted a sub rosa detention order lacking the constitutionally required due process protections.
