People v. Badie

Defendant, who was charged with two Class X felonies, appealed from his pretrial detention by arguing that the circuit court did not have the authority to hear the State’s motion for relief and that it erred in granting the motion. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the trial court had authority to consider the State’s motion for relief, despite the fact that the motion was heard by a different judge than the one who considered the initial detention petition and that the State met its burden of showing that no condition or combination of conditions could adequately mitigate the threat defendant posed to the safety of the victim or the community. (BRENNAN and DAVENPORT, concurring)
