Chambers v. Mississippi, 405 U.S. 1205 (1972)

Chambers v. Mississippi


No. A-785 (71-5908)


Decided February 14, 1972
405 U.S. 1205

ON APPLICATION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER
ADMITTING PETITIONER TO BAIL

Syllabus

Application of Mississippi Attorney General, contending that petitioner’s return to the community will create a dangerous situation, supported by affidavits of local law enforcement officials stating in conclusory terms that petitioner’s presence will create a tense and explosive situation in the community, is denied and the order admitting petitioner to bail is reaffirmed, as petitioner is a lifelong resident of the community, owns his home, has his family there, served on the local police force, is a deacon in a local church, has no prior record, and was released on bail for 14 months before trial, apparently without incident.

See: 252 So.2d 217.
