Bail shall be allowed in all cases before conviction, if offered, except capital offenses where the proof is evident or the presumption is great.29

But in a murder case if the evidence introduced on an application for bail would sustain a verdict of conviction, bail should he denied.30

A disagreement of the jury in a capital case will not entitle the defendant as a matter of right to be released on bail.31

But if two successive juries have failed to agree to a verdict for murder, this fact is a strong circumstance tending to show that the proof of guilt is not evident nor the presumption great.32
