Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Pre-Trial Fairness Act
Defendant appealed from a trial court order denying him pretrial release under the Pre-Trial Fairness Act, arguing that the State’s detention petition was unverified and untimely. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the lack of verification did not amount to plain error and that the petition was timely filed while the defendant was still in custody. (HOFFMAN and MARTIN, concurring)
