The Post article says: > The law was later deemed, in part, to be unconstitutional by a federal court, which found that it violated the Sixth Amendment guarantee of a trial by jury. Which appears to be incorrect: https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2011/mar/15/second-circuit-new-yorks-persistent-felony-offender-statute-held-constitutional-in-en-banc-ruling/ https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2011/mar/15/second-circ... > The Second Circuit Court of Appeals found that New York’s Persistent Felony Offender Statute (PFOS), N.Y. Penal Law § 70.10 , which allows enhancement of sentences for prior felony convictions, violated the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. However, that finding was later reversed by an en banc ruling. Cash bail is a ridiculous concept, and it's good to get rid of it.
