For the purposes of this subparagraph, any of the underlying crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this subdivision.

What if the person posted bail and then was rearrested?

8 7/23/2020

Repeat offenses/arrests:

Reminder: under 530.60, the prosecution can to change the securing order for only the “underlying” crime.

NOW: under 510.10(4)(t) – the prosecution must show “reasonable cause” that the person committed the “new” crime AND the “underlying” crime.

”HARM”

TO AN IDENTIFIABLE PERSON OR PROPERTY • physical harm • Injury to a person or damage to property • Must be an element of the crime –

9 7/23/2020

Why the word “harm”? – could it be because a person cannot cause “injury” to property? Could it be because you cannot damage a person? “HARM” in a broad sense includes injury AND damage

“material harm” in the stalking statute – specifies that the harm can be “mental or emotional” – the legislature could have done so with the amendments.

As a practical matter, the statute would be unworkable if “harm” was understood to refer to matters not discernable from the elements of the charged crimes. Whether a crime is a qualifying offense for bail or remand is a threshold question that must be determined at arraignment. The amendment requires the prosecutor to “show reasonable cause to believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and [the preceding] underlying crime.” This obligation simply mirrors well established constitutional and statutory requirements for judicial review of probable cause at arraignment (see Gerstein v. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103 (1975); CPL §140.45). The subsection makes no mention of any additional burden of proof concerning the “harm” element of the prior charge and the current one, an omission that clearly reflects the legislature’s understanding that the harm determination would be subsumed within the probable cause determination itself. Because the legislature included no statutory mechanism for consideration of extraneous proof, courts must review the charging documents to determine whether they establish reasonable cause to believe the defendant twice caused physical harm to an identified person (e.g., physical injury) or property (i.e., damage). In short, “harm” must be an element of the crime and not one that can be inferred by the nature of the crime. Al O’Connor (BDS)

10 7/23/2020

Constitutional implications:

The harm should be an element of the offense: assault (injury), criminal mischief (damage), robbery with injury, etc.

Otherwise, why require the prosecution to show “reasonable cause” – as to all the elements of the underlying offense and the new offense? Gerstein v. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103 (1975); CPL §140.45

EXPANSION OF NON-MONETARY CONDITIONS OF RELEASE “...shall be the least restrictive conditions that will reasonably assure the principal's return to court and reasonably assure the principal's compliance with court conditions.”

Conditions to assure compliance with conditions …

11 7/23/2020

II. TWEAKS
