Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Pretrial Fairness Act
Defendant, who was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, appealed from a trial court order revoking his pretrial release after he was subsequently charged with domestic battery on multiple separate occasions. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the trial court findings were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the record established that defendant was given multiple opportunities to remain free from incarceration with pretrial release conditions, but each time violated the terms of his pretrial release and where the criminal charges against defendant were increasing in severity.
