Arizona v. Martinez
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.
