Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Pretrial Release
Defendant appealed from a circuit court order denying his motion for release from pretrial detention because he was not brought to trial within 90 days. The State argued on appeal that it had an additional 90 days to bring a defendant to trial when the defendant is in custody on multiple cases and the first elected case was dismissed or resolved. The appellate court rejected this argument and reversed the order of the circuit court. (JORGENSEN and MULLEN, concurring)
