Description
On December 7, 1978, a complaint was filed in the circuit court of Warren County charging Richard Cook, the defendant, with the unlawful possession of cannabis in violation of the Cannabis Control Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 56 1/2, par. 704(c)). Bail was set at $1,000 and the defendant posted the required 10% with the clerk of the court to secure his release. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, pars. 110-7(a), (b).) His later motion for the appointment of counsel was allowed when the court found him to be indigent. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 113-3(b).) The defendant's motions to quash the search warrant and to suppress evidence were granted and the People appealed. While the appeal was pending, the defendant moved to recover his bail deposit under the provisions of Supreme Court Rule 604(c) (73 Ill.2d R. 604(c)) and the People countered with a motion which sought reimbursement from the bail deposit for legal services provided the defendant by appointed counsel (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 110-7(g)). The appellate court granted the People's motion and directed the trial court to determine the reasonable value of appointed counsel's services, ordering that such sum is to be paid to Warren County from the defendant's bail deposit of $100. We granted Cook's petition for leave to appeal under Supreme Court Rule 315 (73 Ill.2d R. 315). The People's appeal in the appellate court from the order suppressing evidence and quashing the warrant has not yet been decided.
