People v. Rollins

Defendant, who was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and two counts of felony domestic battery, appealed from a trial court order granting the State’s petition to deny pretrial release under the Pre-Trial Fairness Act. The appellate court affirmed, finding first that defendant was not denied the effective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel did not object to the timeliness of the State’s petition and then declining to address defendant’s remaining arguments that were raised in the notice of appeal because they were abandoned when not also raised in his memorandum. (HUTCHINSON and BIRKETT, concurring)
