People v. Milner

Defendant appealed from a trial court order requiring that defendant be detained pending trial, arguing that the State’s petition for pretrial detention should have been denied as untimely. The appellate court disagreed and affirmed, finding that the petition was timely where it was filed subsequent to defendant’s decision to reopen a hearing on the conditions of pretrial release because the statute contemplated that one potential outcome of that hearing was a finding that no set of conditions would be sufficient. (JOHNSON, concurring and MITCHELL, specially concurring)
