The State argued Holden was a flight risk and danger to the community due to his out-of-state residency and commercial driver's license. The appellate court made its preliminary order in mandamus permanent, holding that the trial court erred in denying bond based solely on these factors without evidence of a capital offense, criminal record, or actual danger. The court ordered the judge to set aside the bond denial, conduct a bond hearing, and set an appropriate bond.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=229242","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/richard-holden-relator-v-the-honorable-timothy-miller-associate-circuit-j-114079","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
