Supreme Court of Rhode Island, 1971

Da Rosa v. Howard

Da Rosa v. Howard
Supreme Court of Rhode Island · Decided July 9, 1971
108 R.I. 940

Da Rosa v. Howard

Opinion of the Court

Petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. Determination as to whether or not proof of guilt is evident or the presumption great is a matter for the sound discretion of the trial court hearing the application for release on bail. See Taglianetti v. Fontaine, 105 R. I. 596, 253 A.2d 609.

An examination of the record discloses evidence indicating that proof of guilt is evident and the presumption great and finding of the lower court was proper.
