3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The risk of an erroneous deprivation of a liberty interest is manifest under the Adam Walsh Amendments. Without any consideration of the need for the restriction on an arrestee’s liberty to ensure his appearance at trial or to ensure the safety of the community, there is a great risk that an arrestee will be deprived of his liberty erroneously. In fact, without a judicial determination of the necessary conditions of release based upon the arrestee’s particular circumstances, there is no means of knowing whether the deprivation is erroneous or warranted. The conditions of pretrial release are imposed based solely upon the arrestee’s status as one allegedly involved in a certain crime and one ineligible for release on his own recognizance, without any further considerations.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“When government action depriving a person of life, liberty, or property survives substantive dues process scrutiny, it must still be implemented in a fair manner....
