People v. Morgan

Defendant appalled from a detention order denying him pretrial release. The sole issue for consideration on appeal was a determination of the appropriate standard of review a reviewing court must apply when reviewing a circuit court’s ultimate detention decision under section 110-6.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts, holding that the appropriate standard of review was de novo. (NEVILLE, HOLDER WHITE, and CUNNINGHAM, concurring and OVERSTREET, THEIS, and ROCHFORD, specially concurring)
