People v. Challans

Defendant appealed from an order of the trial court denying pretrial release, arguing that the circuit court erred because defendant was not charged with a detainable offense as provided in section 110-6.1(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The appellate court reversed, finding the trial court erred because defendant, who was charged with aggravated assault, was not charged with a detainable offense. The appellate court remanded for a new hearing to allow the circuit court to consider the mandatory conditions for defendant’s pretrial release under section 110-10 and to impose any additional conditions necessary to ensure defendant’s appearance as required for the safety of the community. (WELCH and SHOLAR, concurring)
