Ramon B. Trujillo, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court denied Trujillo's petition for a writ of certiorari. It held that the constitutional requirement of bail by sufficient sureties permits a court to impose cash-only bail when authorized under Rule 9.2, while declining to review the excessive-bail challenge because Trujillo's guilty plea made that issue moot. Chief Justice Brill and Justice Hart dissented, contending that cash-only bail violates the Arkansas Constitution and the governing procedural rule.
