Arizona v. Martinez
Certiorari Denied
Petition for certiorari denied on October 2, 2017.
Issue
(1) Whether the Arizona Supreme Court erred in stretching the "overbreadth" test for facial unconstitutionality beyond the First Amendment context to strike down a bail restriction based on an application of the law not present in this case; and (2) whether the Arizona Supreme Court erred in applying heightened scrutiny"one standard among five used in the lower courts"to strike down a state regulatory measure that denies bail if a judge, after a full adversarial hearing, finds clear proof that the arrestee raped a child.
