Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Pretrial Release
Defendant appealed from a trial court order revoking his pretrial release, arguing that the trial court erred when it ordered him detained because the State did not prove that less restrictive means were insufficient to prevent him from being charged with subsequent offenses. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the trial court did not err when it determined that less restrictive means were not sufficient where defendant was charged with multiple firearm-related offenses in a period of less than two years and where these incidents were just as likely to occur at defendant’s home if the trial court ordered electronic monitoring. (McBRIDE and ELLIS, concurring)
