People v. Vingara

Defendant appealed from a trial court order granting the State’s petition to deny release under the SAFE-T Act, arguing that the Act did not allow the State to file a verified petition to deny pretrial release in a case where the defendant remained in custody after having been ordered released on the condition of depositing security. The appellate court vacated the order and remanded with instructions that the defendant, who was arrested prior to the enactment date of the Act, be allowed to elect to stand on the terms of his original pretrial conditions or to file a motion for a hearing under the Act. (WELCH and MOORE, concurring)
