People v. Miller

Defendant, who was charged with first degree murder, appealed from a trial court order revoking his pretrial release due to a violation of his pretrial release conditions because he was potentially a named offender in a sexual assault case even though he had not been arrested or charged. The appellate court reversed and remanded, finding that in order to revoke defendant’s pretrial release the trial court effectively added its own language to the statute but that the plain language of the statute did not permit revocation of pretrial release merely because a person was under investigation for having committed an offense. (HOWSE and ELLIS, concurring)
