Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Gloria Davila
November 4, 1981623 S.W.2d 408
Summary
The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that the trial court's bail of $17,500 was excessive and reduced it to $12,500, finding the bail amount unreasonable given the defendant's limited ability to pay and the reasonable conditions imposed. Justice McCormick dissented, arguing that the trial court had not abused its discretion and that the $17,500 reduction should stand.
