Fernando ALFARO, Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. Rick WELLS, Sheriff, Appellee/Respondent(s).
BY ORDER OF THE COURT:
The petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. See Robinson v. State, 95 So. 3d 437, 438 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012) (holding an accused seeking a reduction in bail has the burden to present evidence sufficient to overcome the presumption of correctness of the trial court's order); Dyson v. Campbell, 921 So. 2d 692, 693 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006) ("It does not follow, however, that where a defendant testifies that he cannot meet a given bond amount, that bond is per se excessive or unreasonable. In addition to a defendant's financial resources, a trial court must consider a host of other factors in determining whether to release the defendant on bail or other conditions, and if so, what bail or other conditions are appropriate."); Good v. Wille. 382 So. 2d 408, 410 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980) ("Depending upon the financial circumstances of the defendant, excessive bail is tantamount to no bail.").
