Decision Date: 
Thursday, February 22, 2024
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
6th Div./Cook Co.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded.
Justice: 
C.A. WALKER

Defendant appealed from a trial court order continuing her pretrial detention, arguing that the State failed to demonstrate through clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions could protect the community from any threat posed by her release or that would reasonably ensure her appearance. The appellate court reversed and remanded for new proceedings so that the trial court could determine whether the defendant should remain detained based on the specific, articulable facts of the case. (ODEN JOHNSON and HYMAN, concurring)
