People v. Pugh

Defendant appealed from a trial court order revoking his pretrial release pursuant to the Pre-Trial Fairness Act, which went into effect after defendant was arrested and released on monetary bond. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the language of the Act allowing for revocation of pretrial release applied equally to defendants who had been released prior to the Act’s implementation date because a narrower interpretation would frustrate the intent of the legislature. (MOORE and BARBERIS, concurring)
