Questions presented

  1. Did the Arizona Supreme Court err in holding that United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739 (1987), prohibits a State from denying bail to an arrestee when a judge, after a full adversarial hearing, finds clear proof that the arrestee committed sexual assault?

  2. Did the Arizona Supreme Court err in joining a growing number of jurisdictions that hold a statute facially unconstitutional even if it is capable of constitutional application in some circumstances?
