People v. Watkins-Romaine

Summary

The court held that a defendant who was previously ordered released on monetary bail but remained detained because he could not satisfy that condition may trigger a reopened release proceeding under the amended Code, and the State may respond with a petition for pretrial detention. Because Watkins-Romaine forfeited his challenge to the State's petition and failed to show clear or obvious error, the court reversed the appellate court's judgment and remanded for consideration of his unresolved challenges to the detention decision.
