People v. Coe

Defendant appealed from a circuit court order granting the State’s petition to revoke his pretrial release, arguing that the trial court erred in revoking his pretrial release because all of the relevant charges were not Class A misdemeanors. The appellate court affirmed, finding that section 110-6(a) of the Criminal Code allows for revocation if pretrial release was granted for a felony or a Class A misdemeanor and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that no conditions of release would reasonably assure the appearance of defendant where defendant had demonstrated a consistent disregard for court orders and had repeatedly violated the conditions of his pretrial release. (McHANEY and BOIE, concurring)
