Press Release; definitely violated this one too. $400,000 bail for what someone eldse did that you lied about!! Detective Grossman? Social Worker Veronica Bonelia? can you read? Eighth Amendment Main article: Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.[71] The Eighth Amendment forbids the imposition of excessive bails or fines, though it leaves the term excessive open to interpretation.[91] The most frequently litigated clause of the amendment is the last, which forbids cruel and unusual punishment.[92][93] This clause was only occasionally applied by the Supreme Court prior to the 1970s, generally in cases dealing with means of execution. In Furman v. Georgia (1972), some members of the Court found capital punishment itself in violation of the amendment, arguing that the clause could reflect evolving standards of decency as public opinion changed; others found certain practices in capital trials to be unacceptably arbitrary, resulting in a majority decision that effectively halted executions in the United States for several years.[94] Executions resumed following Gregg v. Georgia (1976), which found capital punishment to be constitutional if the jury was directed by concrete sentencing guidelines.[94] The Court has also found that some poor prison conditions constitute cruel and unusual punishment, as in Estelle v. Gamble (1976).[92]end-30-paulcina3@gmail
