People v. Arrington

Defendant was charged with various detainable felony offenses, including attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, and the circuit court granted defendant’s motion that he be detained pending trial. Defendant appealed arguing that the State failed to show that he likely committed the charged offenses or that conditions of release could not mitigate any risk he posed. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the Sate showed by clear and convincing evidence that the proof was evidence or presumption great that defendant committed the charged offenses and that conditions of release could not adequately mitigate the risk defendant posed to the community. (ZENOFF and CAVANAGH, concurring)
