PETITIONER was incarcerated on several charges for which a cash only bail was set. He sought a writ of habeas corpus arguing he was being illegally detained as he was denied his statutory right to two forms of bail. A prior court denied rejected petitioner’s argument that Criminal Procedure Law §520.10(2)(b) required the court to set two forms of bail. The court stated there were no reported cases holding either that a court must set two forms of bail, or that setting one form was permissible. It ruled that both subdivisions of §520.10(2) were written permissively, in that the court “may” set an amount of bail without specifying a form, or that it “may” specify two or more forms of bail. Therefore, the court concluded that §510.20 permitted a single form of bail to be set in any manner, including cash. Accordingly, the court ruled that petitioner failed to provide any persuasive authority, through case law or legislative history, supporting the statutory analysis he urged upon the court. Hence, it dismissed the petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
