Has "innocent until proven guilty" been a fundamental principle for
purposes of *bail* determinations? As I understand it, there have long
been presumptions that certain crimes (e.g., capital offenses) are
unbailable; this sounds like an extension of those presumptions, but
nothing terribly new, and not something that affects innocent until
proven guilty as to the *criminal trial*, which is the context to which
the principle usually refers.
