| ||
Sec. 3-4. Effect of
former prosecution.
| ||
(a) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly | ||
prosecuted
for the same offense, based upon the same facts, if | ||
that such former
prosecution:
| ||
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an | ||
acquittal or in a
determination that the evidence was | ||
insufficient to warrant a conviction;
or
|
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, | ||
even if entered
before trial, that which required a | ||
determination inconsistent with any fact or
legal | ||
proposition necessary to a conviction in the subsequent | ||
prosecution;
or
| ||
(3) was Was terminated improperly after the jury was | ||
impaneled and sworn
or, in a trial before a court without a | ||
jury, after the first witness was
sworn but before findings | ||
were rendered by the trier of facts, or after a
plea of | ||
guilty was accepted by the court.
| ||
A conviction of an included offense , other than through a | ||
plea of guilty, is an acquittal of the offense
charged.
| ||
(b) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly | ||
prosecuted for
a different offense, or for the same offense | ||
based upon different facts, if that
such former prosecution:
| ||
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an | ||
acquittal, and the
subsequent prosecution is for an offense | ||
of which the defendant could have
been convicted on the | ||
former prosecution; or was for an offense with which
the | ||
defendant should have been charged on the former | ||
prosecution, as
provided in Section 3-3 of this Code | ||
(unless the court ordered a separate
trial of that such | ||
charge); or was for an offense that which involves the same
| ||
conduct, unless each prosecution requires proof of a fact | ||
not required on
the other prosecution, or the offense was | ||
not consummated when the former
trial began; or
|
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, | ||
even if entered
before trial, that which required a | ||
determination inconsistent with any fact
necessary to a | ||
conviction in the subsequent prosecution; or
| ||
(3) was Was terminated improperly under the | ||
circumstances stated in
subsection Subsection (a), and the | ||
subsequent prosecution is for an offense of which
the | ||
defendant could have been convicted if the former | ||
prosecution had not
been terminated improperly.
| ||
(c) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly | ||
prosecuted in
a District Court of the United States or in a | ||
sister state State for an offense that
which is within the | ||
concurrent jurisdiction of this State, if that such former
| ||
prosecution:
| ||
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an | ||
acquittal, and the
subsequent prosecution is for the same | ||
conduct, unless each prosecution
requires proof of a fact | ||
not required in the other prosecution, or the
offense was | ||
not consummated when the former trial began; or
| ||
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, | ||
even if entered
before trial, that which required a | ||
determination inconsistent with any fact
necessary to a | ||
conviction in the prosecution in this State.
| ||
(d) A However, a prosecution is not barred within the | ||
meaning of this
Section 3-4 , however, if the former | ||
prosecution:
|
(1) was Was before a court that which lacked | ||
jurisdiction over the defendant
or the offense; or
| ||
(2) was Was procured by the defendant without the | ||
knowledge of the proper
prosecuting officer, and with the | ||
purpose of avoiding the sentence that which
otherwise might | ||
be imposed; or if subsequent proceedings resulted in the
| ||
invalidation, setting aside, reversal, or vacating of the | ||
conviction,
unless the defendant was thereby adjudged not | ||
guilty.

(720 ILCS 5/4-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-5)
| ||
Sec. 4-5. Knowledge. A person knows, or acts knowingly or | ||
with knowledge of:
| ||
(a) The nature or attendant circumstances of his or her | ||
conduct, described by
the statute defining the offense, | ||
when he or she is consciously aware that his or her
conduct | ||
is of that such nature or that those such circumstances | ||
exist. Knowledge of a
material fact includes awareness of | ||
the substantial probability that the such
fact exists.
| ||
(b) The result of his or her conduct, described by the | ||
statute defining the
offense, when he or she is consciously | ||
aware that that such result is practically
certain to be | ||
caused by his conduct.
| ||
Conduct performed knowingly or with knowledge is performed | ||
wilfully,
within the meaning of a statute using the latter term |
"willfully" , unless the statute
clearly requires another | ||
meaning.
| ||
When the law provides that acting knowingly suffices to | ||
establish an element of an offense, that element also is | ||
established if a person acts intentionally. | ||
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
| ||
(720 ILCS 5/4-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-6)
| ||
Sec. 4-6. Recklessness. A person is reckless or acts | ||
recklessly , when that person he consciously disregards
a | ||
substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or | ||
that a
result will follow, described by the statute defining | ||
the offense , ; and that such
disregard constitutes a gross | ||
deviation from the standard of care that which a
reasonable | ||
person would exercise in the situation. An act performed
| ||
recklessly is performed wantonly, within the meaning of a | ||
statute using the
latter term "wantonly" , unless the statute | ||
clearly requires another meaning.
| ||
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
| ||
(720 ILCS 5/4-7) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-7)
| ||
Sec. 4-7. Negligence. A person is negligent, or acts | ||
negligently, when that person he fails to be aware of
a | ||
substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or | ||
a result
will follow, described by the statute defining the | ||
offense , ; and that such
failure constitutes a substantial |
deviation from the standard of care that which
a reasonable | ||
person would exercise in the situation.
| ||
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
| ||
(720 ILCS 5/5-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 5-2)
| ||
Sec. 5-2. When
accountability exists. A person is legally | ||
accountable for the conduct of another when:
| ||
(a) having Having a mental state described by the statute | ||
defining the offense,
he or she causes another to perform the | ||
conduct, and the other person in fact or
by reason of legal | ||
incapacity lacks such a mental state; or
| ||
(b) the The statute defining the offense makes him or her | ||
so accountable; or
| ||
(c) either Either before or during the commission of an | ||
offense, and with the
intent to promote or facilitate that such | ||
commission, he or she solicits, aids, abets,
agrees , or | ||
attempts to aid that , such other person in the planning or | ||
commission
of the offense. | ||
When 2 or more persons engage in a common criminal design | ||
or agreement, any acts in the furtherance of that common design | ||
committed by one party are considered to be the acts of all | ||
parties to the common design or agreement and all are equally | ||
responsible for the consequences of those further acts. Mere | ||
presence at the scene of a crime does not render a person | ||
accountable for an offense; a person's presence at the scene of | ||
a crime, however, may be considered with other circumstances by |
the trier of fact when determining accountability. | ||
A However, a person is not so accountable, however, unless | ||
the statute
defining the offense provides otherwise, if:
| ||
(1) he or she He is a victim of the offense committed; | ||
or
| ||
(2) the The offense is so defined that his or her | ||
conduct was inevitably
incident to its commission; or
| ||
(3) before Before the commission of the offense, he or | ||
she terminates his or her effort to
promote or facilitate | ||
that such commission , and does one of the following: (i)
| ||
wholly deprives his or her prior efforts of effectiveness | ||
in that such commission, (ii) or
gives timely warning to | ||
the proper law enforcement authorities, or (iii)
otherwise | ||
makes proper effort to prevent the commission of the | ||
offense.

| ||
Sec. 7-11. Compulsion.
| ||
(a) A person is not guilty of an offense, other than an | ||
offense
punishable with death, by reason of conduct that which | ||
he or she performs under the
compulsion of threat or menace of | ||
the imminent infliction of death or great
bodily harm, if he or | ||
she reasonably believes death or great bodily harm will be
| ||
inflicted upon him or her, or upon his or her spouse or child, | ||
if he or she does not perform that such conduct.

(b) A married woman is not entitled, by reason of the | ||
presence of her
husband, to any presumption of compulsion , or | ||
to any defense of compulsion ,
except that stated in subsection | ||
Subsection (a).

| ||
(d) Separate sentencing hearing.
| ||
Where requested by the State, the court shall conduct a | ||
separate
sentencing proceeding to determine the existence of | ||
factors set forth in
subsection (b) and to consider any | ||
aggravating or mitigating factors as
indicated in subsection | ||
(c). The proceeding shall be conducted:
| ||
(1) before the jury that determined the defendant's | ||
guilt; or
| ||
(2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose of the | ||
proceeding if:
| ||
A. the defendant was convicted upon a plea of | ||
guilty; or
| ||

| ||
C. the court for good cause shown discharges the | ||
jury that
determined the defendant's guilt; or
| ||

jury
for the separate proceeding.
| ||
(e) Evidence and Argument.
| ||
During the proceeding any information relevant to any of | ||
the factors
set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by | ||
either the State or the
defendant under the rules governing the | ||
admission of evidence at
criminal trials. Any information | ||
relevant to any additional aggravating
factors or any | ||
mitigating factors indicated in subsection (c) may be
presented |
by the State or defendant regardless of its admissibility
under | ||
the rules governing the admission of evidence at criminal | ||
trials.
The State and the defendant shall be given fair | ||
opportunity to rebut any
information received at the hearing.
| ||
(f) Proof.
| ||
The burden of proof of establishing the existence of any of | ||
the
factors set forth in subsection (b) is on the State and | ||
shall not be
satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable | ||
doubt.
| ||
(g) Procedure - Jury.
| ||
If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds | ||
that none of
the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists, | ||
the court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of | ||
imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of | ||
Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
| ||
one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist, | ||
the jury
shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as | ||
instructed by the
court and shall determine whether the | ||
sentence of death shall be
imposed. If the jury determines | ||
unanimously, after weighing the factors in
aggravation and | ||
mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court | ||
shall sentence the defendant to death.
If the court does not | ||
concur with the jury determination that death is the
| ||
appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in | ||
writing
including what facts or circumstances the court relied | ||
upon,
along with any relevant
documents, that compelled the |
court to non-concur with the sentence. This
document and any | ||
attachments shall be part of the record for appellate
review. | ||
The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing | ||
determination.
| ||
If after weighing the factors in aggravation and | ||
mitigation, one or more
jurors determines that death is not the | ||
appropriate sentence,
the
court shall sentence the defendant to | ||
a term of imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of | ||
Corrections.
| ||
(h) Procedure - No Jury.
| ||
In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds | ||
that none
of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the | ||
court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of imprisonment | ||
under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of Corrections.
| ||
If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set | ||
forth in
subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any | ||
aggravating and
mitigating factors as indicated in subsection | ||
(c). If the Court
determines, after weighing the factors in | ||
aggravation and mitigation, that
death is the appropriate | ||
sentence, the Court shall sentence the
defendant to death.
| ||
If
the court finds that death is not the
appropriate | ||
sentence, the
court shall sentence the defendant to a term of | ||
imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of | ||
Corrections.
| ||
(h-5) Decertification as a capital case.
| ||
In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of |
first degree murder
by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for | ||
resentencing, and the State seeks
the death penalty as an | ||
appropriate
sentence,
on the court's own motion or the written | ||
motion of the defendant, the court
may decertify the case as a | ||
death penalty case if the court finds that the only
evidence | ||
supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated | ||
testimony
of an informant witness, as defined in Section 115-21 | ||
of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963, concerning the | ||
confession or admission of the defendant or
that the sole | ||
evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
| ||
accomplice without any other corroborating evidence.
If the | ||
court decertifies the case as a capital case
under either of | ||
the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a
written | ||
finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the | ||
decertification
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If | ||
the court does not
decertify the case as a capital case, the | ||
matter shall proceed to the
eligibility phase of the sentencing | ||
hearing.
| ||
(i) Appellate Procedure.
| ||
The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to | ||
automatic
review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in | ||
accordance with
rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.
The | ||
Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and | ||
order the
imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the | ||
Unified Code of
Corrections if the court finds that the death | ||
sentence is fundamentally
unjust as applied to the particular |
case.
If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the
death | ||
sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular | ||
case,
independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the | ||
Illinois Supreme Court
shall issue a written opinion explaining | ||
this finding.
| ||
(j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
| ||
In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to | ||
be
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States | ||
or of the
State of Illinois, any person convicted of first | ||
degree murder shall be
sentenced by the court to a term of | ||
imprisonment under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of | ||
Corrections.
| ||
In the event that any death sentence pursuant to the | ||
sentencing
provisions of this Section is declared | ||
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States or | ||
of the State of Illinois, the court having
jurisdiction over a | ||
person previously sentenced to death shall cause the
defendant | ||
to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
| ||
the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
| ||
Unified Code of Corrections.
| ||
(k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
| ||
The Attorney General and
State's Attorneys Association | ||
shall consult on voluntary guidelines for
procedures governing | ||
whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines
do not
| ||
have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.

of circumstances at | ||
the time of the killing that would justify or exonerate
the | ||
killing under the principles stated in Article 7 of this Code. | ||

jury trial for first degree murder in which evidence of | ||
either of the
mitigating factors defined in subsection (a) of | ||
this Section has been
presented and the defendant has requested | ||
that the jury be given the option
of finding the defendant | ||
guilty of second degree murder, the jury must be

unless it has
first determined that the State has proven beyond | ||
a reasonable doubt each
of the elements of first degree murder.

unless a
valid court order states otherwise. If an | ||
adjudication of paternity has
been completed and the father | ||

presumption created by paragraph (3) of subsection (a),
| ||
however, a mother commits child abduction when she | ||

| ||
unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing care and | ||
custody of the

(j) A person who commits the offense of involuntary | ||
servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services under | ||
subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section shall forfeit to | ||

of subsection (b), (c), or (d) of this Section that the |
sentencing court determines, after a forfeiture hearing, to | ||
have been acquired or maintained as a result of maintaining a | ||
person in involuntary servitude or participating in | ||
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services. | ||
Upon petition by the Attorney General or State's Attorney | ||
at any time following sentencing, the court shall conduct a | ||
hearing to determine whether any property or property interest | ||
is subject to forfeiture under this Section. At the forfeiture | ||
hearing the People have the burden of establishing, by a | ||
preponderance of the evidence, that property or property | ||
interests are subject to forfeiture under this Section. | ||
In any action brought by the People of the State of | ||
Illinois under this Section, in which a restraining order, | ||
injunction, or prohibition or any other action in connection | ||
with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this | ||
Section is sought, the circuit court presiding over the trial | ||
of the person or persons charged with involuntary servitude, | ||
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in | ||
persons for forced labor or services shall first determine | ||
whether there is probable cause to believe that the person or | ||
persons so charged have committed the offense of involuntary | ||
servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services and whether | ||
the property or interest is subject to forfeiture under this | ||
Section. In order to make that determination, prior to entering | ||
any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a |
jury, in which the People shall establish that there is: (i) | ||
probable cause that the person or persons so charged have | ||
committed the offense of involuntary servitude, involuntary | ||
sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in persons for | ||
forced labor or services and (ii) probable cause that any | ||
property or interest may be subject to forfeiture under this | ||
Section. The hearing may be conducted simultaneously with a | ||
preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by | ||
information or complaint, or by motion of the People, at any | ||
stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of | ||
probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing of | ||
an information charging the offense of involuntary servitude, | ||
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in | ||
persons for forced labor or services or the return of an | ||
indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of involuntary | ||
servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or | ||
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services as | ||
sufficient evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) | ||
of this paragraph. Upon a finding, the circuit court shall | ||
enter the restraining order, injunction, or prohibition, or | ||
shall take such other action in connection with any such | ||
property or other interest subject to forfeiture, as is | ||
necessary to ensure that the property is not removed from the | ||
jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed, or otherwise | ||
disposed of by the owner of that property or interest prior to | ||
a forfeiture hearing under this Section. The Attorney General |
or State's Attorney shall file a certified copy of the | ||
restraining order, injunction, or other prohibition with the | ||
recorder or registrar of titles of each county where any such | ||
property of the defendant may be located. No such injunction, | ||
restraining order, or other prohibition shall affect the rights | ||
of any bona fide purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or | ||
other lien holder arising prior to the date of that filing. At | ||
any time, upon verified petition by the defendant or an | ||
innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder | ||
who neither had knowledge of, nor consented to, the illegal act | ||
or omission, the court may conduct a hearing to release all or | ||
portions of any such property or interest that the court | ||
previously determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to | ||
any restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other | ||
action. The court may release that property to the defendant or | ||
innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder | ||
who neither had knowledge of nor consented to the illegal act | ||
or omission for good cause shown and within the sound | ||
discretion of the court. | ||
Upon conviction of a person of involuntary servitude, | ||
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in | ||
persons for forced labor or services, the court shall authorize | ||
the Attorney General to seize all property or other interest | ||
declared forfeited under this Section upon terms and conditions | ||
the court deems proper. | ||
All moneys forfeited and the sale proceeds of all other |
property forfeited and seized under this Section shall be | ||
distributed as follows: | ||
(1) one-half shall be divided equally between all State | ||
agencies and units of local government whose officers or | ||
employees conducted the investigation that resulted in the | ||
forfeiture; and | ||
(2) one-half shall be deposited into the Violent Crime
| ||
Victims Assistance Fund and targeted to services for | ||
victims of the offenses of involuntary servitude, | ||
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in | ||
persons for forced labor or services.

(e) Duty to enforce this Article. | ||
(1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police, |
and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all | ||
provisions of this Article, except those specifically | ||
delegated, and to cooperate with all agencies charged with | ||
the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or of any | ||
state, relating to money laundering. Only an agent, | ||
officer, or investigator designated by the Director may be | ||
authorized in accordance with this Section to serve seizure | ||
notices, warrants, subpoenas, and summonses under the | ||
authority of this State. | ||
(2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer | ||
designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of | ||
property pursuant to the provisions of this Article; and | ||
(B) perform such other law enforcement duties as the | ||
Director designates. It is the duty of all State's | ||
Attorneys to prosecute violations of this Article and | ||
institute legal proceedings as authorized under this | ||
Article. | ||
(f) Protective orders. | ||
(1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter | ||
a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of | ||
a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action | ||
to preserve the availability of property described in | ||
subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article: | ||
(A) upon the filing of an indictment, information, | ||
or complaint charging a violation of this Article for | ||
which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and |
alleging that the property with respect to which the | ||
order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under | ||
this Article; or
| ||
(B) prior to the filing of such an indictment, | ||
information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons | ||
appearing to have an interest in the property and | ||
opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that: | ||
(i) there is probable cause to believe that the | ||
State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and | ||
that failure to enter the order will result in the | ||
property being destroyed, removed from the | ||
jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made | ||
unavailable for forfeiture; and | ||
(ii) the need to preserve the availability of | ||
the property through the entry of the requested | ||
order outweighs the hardship on any party against | ||
whom the order is to be entered. | ||
Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant | ||
to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more | ||
than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good | ||
cause shown or unless an indictment, information, | ||
complaint, or administrative notice has been filed. | ||
(2) A temporary restraining order under this | ||
subsection may be entered upon application of the State | ||
without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an | ||
indictment, information, complaint, or administrative |
notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property, | ||
if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to | ||
believe that the property with respect to which the order | ||
is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section | ||
and that provision of notice will jeopardize the | ||
availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a | ||
temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after | ||
the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good | ||
cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered | ||
consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing | ||
requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph | ||
shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to | ||
the expiration of the temporary order. | ||
(3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing | ||
held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and | ||
information that would be inadmissible under the Illinois | ||
rules of evidence.
| ||
(4) Order to repatriate and deposit. | ||
(A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter | ||
a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the | ||
court may order a defendant to repatriate any property | ||
that may be seized and forfeited and to deposit that | ||
property pending trial with the Illinois State Police | ||
or another law enforcement agency designated by the | ||
Illinois State Police. | ||
(B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an |
order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a | ||
civil or criminal contempt of court.
| ||
(g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance | ||
of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in | ||
subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search | ||
warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause | ||
to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to | ||
forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the | ||
seizure of such property. | ||
(h) Forfeiture. | ||
(1) The following are subject to forfeiture: | ||
(A) any property, real or personal, constituting, | ||
derived from, or traceable to any proceeds the person | ||
obtained directly or indirectly, as a result of a | ||

facilitate the commission of, a violation of this | ||
Article; | ||
(C) all conveyances, including aircraft, vehicles | ||
or vessels, which are used, or intended for use, to | ||
transport, or in any manner to facilitate the | ||
transportation, sale, receipt, possession, or | ||
concealment of property described in subparagraphs (A) | ||
and (B), but: | ||
(i) no conveyance used by any person as a |
common carrier in the transaction of business as a | ||
common carrier is subject to forfeiture under this | ||
Section unless it appears that the owner or other | ||
person in charge of the conveyance is a consenting | ||
party or privy to a violation of this Article; | ||
(ii) no conveyance is subject to forfeiture | ||
under this Section by reason of any act or omission | ||
which the owner proves to have been committed or | ||
omitted without his or her knowledge or consent; | ||

by a bona fide security interest is subject to the | ||
interest of the secured party if he or she neither | ||
had knowledge of nor consented to the act or | ||
omission; | ||

and interest (including, but not limited to, any | ||
leasehold interest or the beneficial interest in a land | ||
trust) in the whole of any lot or tract of land and any | ||
appurtenances or improvements, which is used or | ||
intended to be used, in any manner or part, to commit, | ||
or in any manner to facilitate the commission of, any | ||
violation of this Article or that is the proceeds of | ||
any violation or act that constitutes a violation of | ||
this Article.
| ||
(2) Property subject to forfeiture under this Article | ||
may be seized by the Director or any peace officer upon |
process or seizure warrant issued by any court having | ||
jurisdiction over the property. Seizure by the Director or | ||
any peace officer without process may be made: | ||
(A) if the seizure is incident to a seizure | ||
warrant; | ||
(B) if the property subject to seizure has been the | ||
subject of a prior judgment in favor of the State in a | ||
criminal proceeding, or in an injunction or forfeiture | ||
proceeding based upon this Article; | ||
(C) if there is probable cause to believe that the | ||
property is directly or indirectly dangerous to health | ||
or safety; | ||
(D) if there is probable cause to believe that the | ||
property is subject to forfeiture under this Article | ||
and the property is seized under circumstances in which | ||
a warrantless seizure or arrest would be reasonable; or | ||
(E) in accordance with the Code of Criminal | ||
Procedure of 1963. | ||
(3) In the event of seizure pursuant to paragraph (2), | ||
forfeiture proceedings shall be instituted in accordance | ||
with subsections (i) through (r). | ||
(4) Property taken or detained under this Section shall | ||
not be subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the | ||
custody of the Director subject only to the order and | ||
judgments of the circuit court having jurisdiction over the | ||
forfeiture proceedings and the decisions of the State's |
Attorney under this Article. When property is seized under | ||
this Article, the seizing agency shall promptly conduct an | ||
inventory of the seized property and estimate the | ||
property's value and shall forward a copy of the inventory | ||
of seized property and the estimate of the property's value | ||
to the Director. Upon receiving notice of seizure, the | ||
Director may: | ||
(A) place the property under seal; | ||
(B) remove the property to a place designated by | ||
the Director; | ||
(C) keep the property in the possession of the | ||
seizing agency; | ||
(D) remove the property to a storage area for | ||
safekeeping or, if the property is a negotiable | ||

to the property; or | ||
(F) provide for another agency or custodian, | ||
including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to | ||
take custody of the property upon the terms and | ||
conditions set by the Director. |
(5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the | ||
Director shall sell all such property unless such property | ||
is required by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the | ||
public, and shall distribute the proceeds of the sale, | ||
together with any moneys forfeited or seized, in accordance | ||
with paragraph (6). However, upon the application of the | ||
seizing agency or prosecutor who was responsible for the | ||
investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution which | ||
lead to the forfeiture, the Director may return any item of | ||
forfeited property to the seizing agency or prosecutor for | ||
official use in the enforcement of laws, if the agency or | ||
prosecutor can demonstrate that the item requested would be | ||
useful to the agency or prosecutor in its enforcement | ||
efforts. When any real property returned to the seizing | ||
agency is sold by the agency or its unit of government, the | ||
proceeds of the sale shall be delivered to the Director and | ||
distributed in accordance with paragraph (6). | ||
(6) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other | ||
property forfeited and seized under this Article shall be | ||
distributed as follows: | ||
(A) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan | ||
enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State | ||
law enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or | ||
participated in the investigation resulting in the | ||
forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable | ||
relationship to the degree of direct participation of |
the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in | ||
the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of | ||
the property forfeited and the total law enforcement | ||
effort with respect to the violation of the law upon | ||
which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to | ||
the agency or agencies shall be used for the | ||
enforcement of laws. | ||
(B)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of | ||
the State's Attorney of the county in which the | ||
prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was | ||
instituted, deposited in a special fund in the county | ||
treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney for | ||
use in the enforcement of laws. In counties over | ||
3,000,000 population, 25% shall be distributed to the | ||
Office of the State's Attorney for use in the | ||
enforcement of laws. If the prosecution is undertaken | ||
solely by the Attorney General, the portion provided | ||
hereunder shall be distributed to the Attorney General | ||
for use in the enforcement of laws. | ||
(ii) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office | ||
of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and | ||
deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund | ||
of that office to be used for additional expenses | ||
incurred in the investigation, prosecution and | ||
appeal of cases arising under laws. The Office of | ||
the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor shall |
not receive distribution from cases brought in | ||
counties with over 3,000,000 population. | ||
(C) 10% shall be retained by the Department of | ||
State Police for expenses related to the | ||
administration and sale of seized and forfeited | ||
property. | ||
(i) Notice to owner or interest holder. | ||

an in rem complaint is required under the provisions of | ||
this Article, such notice or service shall be given as | ||
follows: | ||
(A) If the owner's or interest holder's name and | ||
current address are known, then by either personal | ||
service or mailing a copy of the notice by certified | ||
mail, return receipt requested, to that address. For | ||
purposes of notice under this Section, if a person has | ||
been arrested for the conduct giving rise to the | ||
forfeiture, then the address provided to the arresting | ||
agency at the time of arrest shall be deemed to be that | ||
person's known address. Provided, however, if an owner | ||
or interest holder's address changes prior to the | ||
effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the | ||
owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the | ||
seizing agency of the change in address or, if the | ||
owner or interest holder's address changes subsequent | ||
to the effective date of the notice of pending |
forfeiture, the owner or interest holder shall | ||
promptly notify the State's Attorney of the change in | ||
address; or | ||
(B) If the property seized is a conveyance, to the | ||
address reflected in the office of the agency or | ||
official in which title or interest to the conveyance | ||
is required by law to be recorded, then by mailing a | ||
copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt | ||
requested, to that address; or | ||
(C) If the owner's or interest holder's address is | ||
not known, and is not on record as provided in | ||
paragraph (B), then by publication for 3 successive | ||
weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the | ||
county in which the seizure occurred. | ||
(2) Notice served under this Article is effective upon | ||
personal service, the last date of publication, or the | ||
mailing of written notice, whichever is earlier. | ||
(j) Notice to State's Attorney. The law enforcement agency | ||
seizing property for forfeiture under this Article shall, | ||
within 90 days after seizure, notify the State's Attorney for | ||
the county, either where an act or omission giving rise to the | ||
forfeiture occurred or where the property was seized, of the | ||
seizure of the property and the facts and circumstances giving | ||
rise to the seizure and shall provide the State's Attorney with | ||
the inventory of the property and its estimated value. When the | ||
property seized for forfeiture is a vehicle, the law |
enforcement agency seizing the property shall immediately | ||
notify the Secretary of State that forfeiture proceedings are | ||
pending regarding such vehicle. | ||

exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance, | ||
or if real property is seized under the provisions of this | ||

forfeiture proceedings as described in subsection (l) of this | ||
Section within 45 days from receipt of notice of seizure from | ||
the seizing agency under subsection (j) of this Section. | ||
However, if non-real property that does not exceed $20,000 in | ||
value excluding the value of any conveyance is seized, the | ||
following procedure shall be used: | ||
(1) If, after review of the facts surrounding the | ||
seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the | ||
seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 | ||
days after the receipt of notice of seizure from the | ||
seizing agency, the State's Attorney shall cause notice of | ||
pending forfeiture to be given to the owner of the property | ||
and all known interest holders of the property in | ||
accordance with subsection (i) of this Section. | ||
(2) The notice of pending forfeiture must include a | ||
description of the property, the estimated value of the | ||
property, the date and place of seizure, the conduct giving | ||
rise to forfeiture or the violation of law alleged, and a | ||
summary of procedures and procedural rights applicable to |
the forfeiture action. | ||
(3)(A) Any person claiming an interest in property | ||
which is the subject of notice under paragraph (1) of this | ||
subsection (k), must, in order to preserve any rights or | ||
claims to the property, within 45 days after the effective | ||

(B) If a claimant files the claim and deposits with the | ||
State's Attorney a cost bond, in the form of a cashier's | ||
check payable to the clerk of the court, in the sum of 10% | ||
of the reasonable value of the property as alleged by the | ||
State's Attorney or the sum of $100, whichever is greater, | ||
upon condition that, in the case of forfeiture, the | ||
claimant must pay all costs and expenses of forfeiture | ||
proceedings, then the State's Attorney shall institute | ||
judicial in rem forfeiture proceedings and deposit the cost | ||
bond with the clerk of the court as described in subsection | ||
(l) of this Section within 45 days after receipt of the | ||
claim and cost bond. In lieu of a cost bond, a person | ||
claiming interest in the seized property may file, under | ||
penalty of perjury, an indigency affidavit which has been | ||
approved by a circuit court judge. | ||
(C) If none of the seized property is forfeited in the | ||
judicial in rem proceeding, the clerk of the court shall | ||
return to the claimant, unless the court orders otherwise, | ||
90% of the sum which has been deposited and shall retain as | ||
costs 10% of the money deposited. If any of the seized | ||
property is forfeited under the judicial forfeiture | ||
proceeding, the clerk of the court shall transfer 90% of | ||
the sum which has been deposited to the State's Attorney | ||
prosecuting the civil forfeiture to be applied to the costs | ||
of prosecution and the clerk shall retain as costs 10% of | ||
the sum deposited. |

bond under paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section, the | ||
following judicial in rem procedures shall apply: | ||
(1) If, after a review of the facts surrounding the | ||
seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the | ||
seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 | ||
days of the receipt of notice of seizure by the seizing | ||
agency or the filing of the claim and cost bond, whichever | ||
is later, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial | ||
forfeiture proceedings by filing a verified complaint for | ||
forfeiture and, if the claimant has filed a claim and cost | ||
bond, by depositing the cost bond with the clerk of the | ||
court. When authorized by law, a forfeiture must be ordered | ||
by a court on an action in rem brought by a State's | ||
Attorney under a verified complaint for forfeiture. | ||
(2) During the probable cause portion of the judicial |
in rem proceeding wherein the State presents its | ||
case-in-chief, the court must receive and consider, among | ||
other things, all relevant hearsay evidence and | ||
information. The laws of evidence relating to civil actions | ||
apply to all other portions of the judicial in rem | ||
proceeding. | ||
(3) Only an owner of or interest holder in the property | ||
may file an answer asserting a claim against the property | ||
in the action in rem. For purposes of this Section, the | ||
owner or interest holder shall be referred to as claimant. | ||
Upon motion of the State, the court shall first hold a | ||
hearing, wherein any claimant must establish by a | ||
preponderance of the evidence, that he or she has a lawful, | ||
legitimate ownership interest in the property and that it | ||
was obtained through a lawful source. | ||
(4) The answer must be signed by the owner or interest | ||
holder under penalty of perjury and must set forth: | ||
(A) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on | ||
the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the | ||
claimant; | ||
(B) the address at which the claimant will accept | ||
mail; | ||
(C) the nature and extent of the claimant's | ||
interest in the property; | ||
(D) the date, identity of transferor, and | ||
circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the |
interest in the property; | ||
(E) the name and address of all other persons known | ||
to have an interest in the property; | ||
(F) all essential facts supporting each assertion; | ||
and | ||
(G) the precise relief sought.
| ||
(5) The answer must be filed with the court within 45 | ||
days after service of the civil in rem complaint. | ||
(6) The hearing must be held within 60 days after | ||
filing of the answer unless continued for good cause.
| ||
(7) The State shall show the existence of probable | ||
cause for forfeiture of the property. If the State shows | ||
probable cause, the claimant has the burden of showing by a | ||
preponderance of the evidence that the claimant's interest | ||
in the property is not subject to forfeiture.
| ||
(8) If the State does not show existence of probable | ||
cause, the court shall order the interest in the property | ||
returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all | ||
other property forfeited to the State. If the State does | ||
show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all | ||
property forfeited to the State. | ||
(9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is | ||
precluded from later denying the essential allegations of | ||
the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted | ||
in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the | ||
pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However, |
evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible. | ||
(10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding | ||
does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article; | ||
however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's | ||
Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings | ||
during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment | ||
or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such | ||
a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property | ||
subject to forfeiture under this Article shall not be | ||
subject to return or release by a court exercising | ||
jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of | ||
such property unless such return or release is consented to | ||
by the State's Attorney. | ||
(11) All property declared forfeited under this | ||
Article vests in this State on the commission of the | ||
conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the | ||
proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property | ||
or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain | ||
subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered | ||
forfeited. | ||
(12) A civil action under this Article must be | ||
commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise | ||
to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5 | ||
years after the forfeitable property is discovered, | ||
whichever is later, excluding any time during which either | ||
the property or claimant is out of the State or in |
confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating | ||
to the same conduct are in progress. | ||
(m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for | ||
evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting | ||
judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not | ||
begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence. | ||
(n) Settlement of claims. Notwithstanding other provisions | ||
of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized | ||
property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning | ||
the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as | ||
are set out in writing in a settlement agreement. | ||
(o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this | ||
Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona | ||
fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered | ||
or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal | ||
proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was | ||
paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure | ||
warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and | ||
where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property | ||
did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under | ||
this Article. | ||
(p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly | ||
that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally | ||
construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The | ||
forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be | ||
considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any |
sentence or other remedy provided by law. | ||
(q) Judicial review. If property has been declared | ||
forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who | ||
has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within | ||
30 days after the effective date of the notice of the | ||
declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as | ||
described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section. | ||
If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the | ||
procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply. | ||
(r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not | ||
necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in | ||
this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other | ||
pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under | ||
this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception | ||
is upon the person claiming it. | ||
(s) Review of administrative decisions.
All administrative | ||
findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and | ||
conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article | ||
are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any | ||
person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the | ||
decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative | ||
Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending | ||
final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders, | ||
and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full | ||
force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court | ||
pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such |
review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's | ||
Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order | ||
of court. However, no stay of any decision of the | ||
administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved | ||
by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence | ||
that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause, | ||
the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a | ||
substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that | ||
granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the | ||
general public.

method: Upon each such person
whose right, title or interest is | ||
of record in the office of the Secretary
of State, the |
Secretary of Transportation, the Administrator of the Federal

Aviation Agency, or any other Department of this State, or any | ||

address as given upon the records of the Secretary of
State, | ||
the Department of Aeronautics, Department of Public Works and

Buildings or any other Department of this State or the United | ||
States if

Code makes | ||
a showing
that the seized vehicle is the only source of | ||
transportation and it is
determined that the financial hardship | ||
to the family as a result of the seizure
outweighs the benefit | ||
to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be
forfeited to | ||
the spouse or family member and the title to the vehicle shall | ||
be
transferred to the spouse or family member who is properly | ||
licensed and who
requires the use of the vehicle for employment | ||
or family transportation
purposes. A written declaration of | ||
forfeiture of a vehicle under this

cause for the title to be transferred to the spouse
or family | ||
member. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to | ||
one
forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a | ||
subsequent
forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent | ||
conviction of either spouse or
the family member, the spouse or | ||
family member to whom the vehicle was
forfeited under the first | ||
forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the
provisions of this | ||
paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of
