Defendant appealed from an order of the circuit court denying his motion for release from pretrial detention, asserting that he was not brought to trial within 90 days as is required for defendants who were denied pretrial release. The appellate court vacated the order and remanded, explaining that the record was not sufficient and instructing the trial court to hold a hearing regarding the cause of a continuance of defendant’s case.
