Michael Lee JACKSON, III, Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. STATE of Florida and Kevin Rambosk, Collier County Sheriff, Appellee/Respondent(s).
BY ORDER OF THE COURT:
The petitioner's petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied. We recognize that "[d]epending upon the financial circumstances of the defendant, excessive bail is tantamount to no bail," and we deny the petition without prejudice to the petitioner's right to file a motion to modify bail and to present additional evidence in support of his argument that the set bail is unreasonable. Good v. Wille. 382 So.2d 408, 410 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980). See Henley v. Jenne. 796 So.2d 1273, 1275 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) (holding that while a defendant's financial resources are important in the bail determination, "so too is the defendant's access to family and friends for the benefit of bail and, necessarily, their financial burdens and risks standing behind the posting of bail").
