Heading: whether the trial court erred in denying bail to king.

Text: ś 8. In his first issue, King complains of the trial court's refusal to release him on pretrial bail. [2] This refusal, he contends, was just the first step in his being denied either a fair prosecution or a fair trial. The State disputes that King was denied a fair trial, then argues that the refusal of bail is of no moment to King's appeal. This Court agrees. See Jones v. State, 798 So.2d 1241, 1255 (Miss.2001); King v. State, 580 So.2d 1182, 1185-86 (Miss.1991) ([W]hether the judge improperly incarcerated James has nothing to do with the merits of this case and, as a consequence, reversal is not a possible remedy.); Benson v. State, 551 So.2d 188, 195 (Miss.1989) (The trial court's denial of bail is not grounds for reversal of the judgment rendered against the defendant.). ś 9. This assignment is without merit.
