State v. Pan (9 Order on Motion)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted in part Defendant's petition for review of the trial court's denial of his motion for modification of the $20 million bond that was set in connection with murder charges against him, holding that remand was required for the trial court to consider Petitioner's request for a ten percent bail option pursuant to Practice Book 38-8.
In his petition, Defendant argued that the bail amount was unreasonably high and that the trial court erroneously concluded that it lacked the authority to grant Defendant's request for a ten percent cash option. The Supreme Court remanded the case, holding (1) given the extraordinary flight risk and public safety considerations presented in this case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in setting the bond amount at $20 million; and (2) the trial judge incorrectly concluded that he lacked discretion to offer Defendant a ten percent cash bail option under Practice Book 38-8.
