Short description: CRIM PRO-VIDEOTAPE CONFESSION Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Requires a peace officer who interrogates a person suspected of an offense and obtains a confession from the suspect to videotape the confession of the suspect. Provides that the videotape is admissible in court in a prosecution of the suspect for an offense if the suspect confesses to the offense or otherwise makes an admission that may be used in a prosecution of the suspect for the offense and if the suspect recants his or her confession or contradicts any admission made to a peace officer. Provides that the failure to videotape the confession of the suspect renders the confession inadmissible in court. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes the substance of the bill.
