14    defendant. Where defendant occasions the delay, the
15    running of the 10 day period is temporarily suspended and
16    resumes at the termination of the period of delay. Where
17    defendant occasions the delay with 5 or fewer days
18    remaining in the 10 day period, the court may grant a
19    period of up to 5 additional days to the State for good

14    by the defendant to suppress evidence or to suppress a
15    confession shall not be entertained at such a hearing.
16    Evidence that proof may have been obtained as a result of
17    an unlawful search and seizure or through improper
18    interrogation is not relevant to this hearing.

7    as defined in Section 112A-3 of this Code and the violation
8    is an offense of domestic battery, against the same victim,
9    the court shall revoke the bail of the defendant and hold
10    the defendant for trial without bail. Neither the finding
11    of the court nor any transcript or other record of the
12    hearing shall be admissible in the State's case in chief,
13    but shall be admissible for impeachment, or as provided in
14    Section 115-10.1 of this Code or in a perjury proceeding.
15        (4) If the bail of any defendant is revoked pursuant to
16    paragraph (f) (3) of this Section, the defendant may demand
17    and shall be entitled to be brought to trial on the offense
18    with respect to which he was formerly released on bail
19    within 90 days after the date on which his bail was
20    revoked. If the defendant is not brought to trial within
21    the 90 day period required by the preceding sentence, he
22    shall not be held longer without bail. In computing the 90
23    day period, the court shall omit any period of delay

1    issued pursuant to this Code or is arrested for an
2    unrelated offense and it is subsequently discovered that
3    the defendant is a subject of another warrant or warrants
4    issued pursuant to this Code, the defendant shall be
5    transferred promptly to the court which issued such
6    warrant. If, however, the defendant appears initially
7    before a court other than the court which issued such
8    warrant, the non-issuing court shall not alter the amount
9    of bail heretofore set on such warrant unless the court
10    sets forth on the record of proceedings the conclusions of
11    law and facts which are the basis for such altering of
12    another court's bond. The non-issuing court shall not alter
13    another courts bail set on a warrant unless the interests
14    of justice and public safety are served by such action.
15    (g) The State may appeal any order where the court has
16increased or reduced the amount of bail or altered the
17conditions of the bail bond or granted bail where it has
18previously been revoked.
