In Re Bettie Webb on Habeas Corpus

Summary

The court held that trial courts have authority to impose reasonable release conditions related to public safety on felony defendants who have posted bail. Because the defendant's underlying criminal matter had ended through a guilty plea and probation disposition, the validity of the particular search condition was moot and was not decided. The court reversed and remanded with directions to dismiss the order to show cause and deny the habeas petition as moot.
