Constitutional Amendment 1 would amend Article 2, Section 13 of the Constitution of New Mexico to change the conditions under which a defendant can be denied bail. At present, bail may be denied only for a defendant charged with a capital felony, a defendant with two or more felony convictions in New Mexico or a defendant accused of a felony involving the use of a deadly weapon if the defendant has a felony conviction in New Mexico. The proposed amendment would change these requirements, allowing bail to be denied for a defendant who has been charged with a felony if the prosecutor can prove to a judge that the defendant poses a threat to the public. The proposed amendment would also provide that a defendant who is not a danger to the community or a flight risk cannot be denied bail solely because of the defendant's financial inability to post a money or property bond.
