Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Mikolaitis

November 21, 20242024 IL 130693

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the appellate and circuit courts' denial of pretrial release, holding that the State satisfied its clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden under 110‑6.1(e)(3) without having to argue every specific condition in section 110‑10(b). The Court reasoned that evidence on the statutory factors in section 110‑5 is sufficient and that the trial court may consider evidence from the defendant.
