In Re the People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff v. Zachariah M. Jones, A/k/a Zackariah M. Jones, Defendant

Summary

The court held that the court of appeals had jurisdiction to provide expedited review of an order revoking a defendant's existing bail under the statutory provisions governing modification of bond conditions. It further held that the statute permitted revocation only to bring the defendant before the court to reconsider bond conditions, not to deny pretrial release altogether. The court made its rule absolute and remanded with directions to reinstate the bond or modify its conditions as authorized by statute.
