Does a finding that a defendant currently poses an unreasonable risk to public safety constitute an abuse of discretion?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Owens, F067362 (Cal. App. 2015):
safety.8 Because the trial court's finding defendant currently posed an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety did not "exceed[] the bounds of reason, all of the circumstances being considered" (People v. Giminez (1975) 14 Cal.3d 68, 72), it did not constitute an abuse of discretion.
