People v. Brown

Defendant appealed from a trial court order detaining him prior to trial as a danger to the community, arguing that the trial court’s written order memorializing its findings was insufficient and that there was insufficient evidence of his dangerousness or the appropriateness of less-restrictive conditions. The appellate court affirmed, finding that while the court’s written order could have been more detailed it was sufficient to comply with the statute and that the trial court’s findings were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. (SCHOSTOK and MULLEN, concurring)
