State v. Anderson
Annotate this CaseDefendant was found not guilty of certain offenses by reason of mental disease or defect and transferred to a maximum security psychiatric facility. Defendant was charged with new, violent crimes while housed at the facility. The trial court set a monetary bond as a condition of release. Because Defendant was unable to post that bond, he was transferred to the custody of the Commissioner of Correction at a prison while awaiting trial on the new charges. Defendant appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court’s imposition of a monetary bond and, after Defendant was unable to post that bond, Defendant’s transfer to the custody of the Commissioner, did not violate Defendant’s constitutional rights to (1) bail, pursuant to the Connecticut Constitution; and (2) procedural due process, pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
