Holland v. Asher

MILLIKEN, Judge.

The appellants, John Holland, Elvin Lewis, Tim Lewis and Everett Miller, charged with murder and shooting and wounding with intent to kill, are in jail without bail and have brought this habeas corpus action in an attempt to obtain their release on bail until the next Grand Jury in October. They assert that they are being held in jail in violation of Section 16 of our Constitution which provides in part that “all prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient securities, unless for capital offenses when the proof is evident or the presumption great.”
