 1    criminal provisions listed in subsection  (b)  unless  it  is
 2    shown on the face of the statement that:
 3             (1)  the  minor,  prior  to  making  the  statement,

 5        warning that:

23    statement made by a minor during a custodial interrogation at
24    a  police  station  or  other  place  of  detention  must  be
25    preserved until such time as the minor's adjudication for any
26    offense relating to the statement is final and all direct and

28    such offenses is barred by law.
29        (e) If the minor is a deaf person, the minor's statements
30    under  subsection  (b)  of  this  Section  are presumed to be

34    Interpreters for the Deaf.
 
                            -5-              LRB9201426RCcdam
 1        (f) If the minor can prove, by  a  preponderance  of  the
 2    evidence,  that  he  or  she  was  subjected  to  a custodial
 3    interrogation at a police station or other place of detention
 4    prior to the custodial interrogation at a police  station  or
 5    other place of detention and after the effective date of this
 6    Section  that  was  the  subject  of the electronic video and
 7    audio recording, and if that prior custodial interrogation at
 8    a police station or other place of detention relating to  the
 9    same  offense  was  not recorded as required by this Section,
10    then any statements made by the  minor  during  or  following
11    that non-recorded custodial interrogation at a police station
12    or  other place of detention, even if otherwise in compliance
13    with this Section, are presumed to  be  inadmissible  in  any
14    criminal proceeding against the minor except for the purposes
15    of impeachment.
16        (g)  Nothing  in this Section precludes the admission (i)
17    of a statement made  by  the  minor  in  open  court  in  any
18    criminal proceeding, before a grand jury, or at a preliminary
19    hearing, (ii) of a statement that is res gestae of the arrest
20    or  of  the  offense,  (iii)  of  a  statement  made during a
21    custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required  by
22    this  Section  because video or audio recording, or both, was
23    not feasible, (iv) of a voluntary statement, whether  or  not
24    the  result  of a custodial interrogation, that has a bearing
25    on the credibility of the accused as  a  witness,  (v)  of  a
26    statement   made  under  exigent  circumstances,  (vi)  of  a
27    spontaneous statement  that is not  made  in  response  to  a
28    question, (vii) of a statement made after questioning that is
29    routinely  asked  during  the processing of the arrest of the
30    suspect, (viii)  of  a  statement  made  during  a  custodial
31    interrogation  by  a  suspect who agrees, prior to making the
32    statement, to respond to the interrogator's questions only if
33    either a video or audio recording, or both, is  not  made  of
34    the  statement,  provided  that an electronic video and audio
 
                            -6-              LRB9201426RCcdam
 1    recording is made of the statement of agreeing to respond  to
 2    the  interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made
 3    of the statement, (ix) of a statement made during a custodial
 4    interrogation  that  is  conducted  out-of-state,  (x)  of  a
 5    statement  made  by  a  suspect  who  is  being  interrogated
 6    simultaneously  with  other  suspects  concerning  the   same
 7    offense,  but  only  to the extent that no electric recording
 8    equipment (video or audio) is available because it  is  being
 9    utilized for the interrogations of the other suspects for the
10    same  offense,  or  (xi)  of  any other statement that may be
11    admissible under law.  The State shall  bear  the  burden  of
12    proving,  by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of the
13    exceptions described in this subsection  (g)  is  applicable.
14    Nothing   in  this  Section  precludes  the  admission  of  a
15    statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
16    used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
17        (h)  The presumption of inadmissibility  of  a  statement
18    made  by  a  suspect  at  a  custodial  interrogation  may be
19    overcome by clear and convincing evidence that the  statement
20    was voluntarily given and is reliable.
21        (i)  In  addition  to the requirements of subsection (b),
22    no oral, written, or sign language statement of a  minor  who
23    at  the  time  of  the commission of the offense was under 13
24    years of age made as a result of  a  custodial  interrogation
25    conducted  at a police station or other place of detention on
26    or  after  the  effective  date  of  this  Section  shall  be
27    admissible as evidence against the minor  in  any  proceeding
28    for  an  act  that  if committed by an adult would be brought
29    under Section 9-1, 9-1.2,  9-2,  9-2.1,  9-3,  9-3.2,  9-3.3,
30    12-13,  12-14,  12-14.1, 12-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal Code
31    of 1961 unless he or she is represented by counsel during the
32    entire custodial interrogation.

33        Section 15.  The Criminal Code  of  1961  is  amended  by
 
                            -7-              LRB9201426RCcdam

13    consented  to  it  being  intercepted   or   recorded   under
14    circumstances  where  the  use of the device is necessary for

 7    to the conversation is committing, is about to commit, or has
 8    committed a criminal offense against the person or  a  member
 9    of  his  or  her  immediate household, and there is reason to

33    or  obtained,  directly  or  indirectly, under this exemption
34    (j), may be, directly or indirectly,  furnished  to  any  law

 4        (c)  In addition to the requirements of subsection (b) of
 5    this Section, a written statement made by  an  accused  as  a
 6    result  of  a  custodial interrogation at a police station or
 7    other place of detention is presumed to  be  inadmissible  as
 8    evidence against him or her in any criminal proceeding unless

12        warning that:

27        the statement, waived the rights set out in  the  warning

30    statement made by an accused during a custodial interrogation
31    at a police station or  other  place  of  detention  must  be
32    preserved  until  such time as the defendant's conviction for
33    any offense relating to the statement is final and all direct
34    and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted, or  the  prosecution
 
                            -14-             LRB9201426RCcdam
 1    of such offenses is barred by law.
 2        (e)  If  the  accused  is  a  deaf  person, the accused's
 3    statements under subsection (b) of this Section are  presumed

 6    interpreter who is qualified and certified by the Registry of
 7    Interpreters for the Deaf.
 8        (f) If the defendant can prove, by a preponderance of the
 9    evidence, that  he  or  she  was  subjected  to  a  custodial
10    interrogation at a police station or other place of detention
11    prior  to  the custodial interrogation at a police station or
12    other place of detention and after the effective date of this
13    Section that was the subject  of  the  electronic  video  and
14    audio recording, and if that prior custodial interrogation at
15    a  police station or other place of detention relating to the
16    same offense was not recorded as required  by  this  Section,
17    then any statements made by the defendant during or following
18    that non-recorded custodial interrogation at a police station
19    or  other place of detention, even if otherwise in compliance
20    with this Section, are presumed to  be  inadmissible  in  any
21    criminal  proceeding  against  the  defendant  except for the
22    purposes of impeachment.
23        (g) Nothing in this Section precludes the  admission  (i)
24    of  a  statement  made by the accused in open court at his or
25    her trial, before a grand jury, or at a preliminary  hearing,
26    (ii)  of  a  statement that is res gestae of the arrest or of
27    the offense, (iii) of a statement  made  during  a  custodial
28    interrogation  that  was  not  recorded  as  required by this
29    Section, because video or audio recording, or both,  was  not
30    feasible,  (iv)  of a voluntary statement, whether or not the
31    result of a custodial interrogation, that has  a  bearing  on
32    the  credibility  of  the  accused  as  a  witness,  (v) of a
33    statement  made  under  exigent  circumstances,  (vi)  of   a
34    spontaneous  statement  that  is  not  made  in response to a
 
                            -15-             LRB9201426RCcdam
 1    question, (vii) of a statement made after questioning that is
 2    routinely asked during the processing of the  arrest  of  the
 3    suspect,  (viii)  of  a  statement  made  during  a custodial
 4    interrogation by a suspect who agrees, prior  to  making  the
 5    statement, to respond to the interrogator's questions only if
 6    either a video or an audio recording, or both, is not made of
 7    the  statement,  provided  that an electronic video and audio
 8    recording is made of the statement of agreeing to respond  to
 9    the  interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made
10    of the statement, (ix) of a statement made during a custodial
11    interrogation  that  is  conducted  out-of-state,  (x)  of  a
12    statement  made  by  a  suspect  who  is  being  interrogated
13    simultaneously  with  other  suspects  concerning  the   same
14    offense,  but only to the extent that no electronic recording
15    equipment (video or audio) is available because it  is  being
16    utilized for the interrogations of the other suspects for the
17    same  offense,  or  (xi)  of  any other statement that may be
18    admissible under law.  The State shall  bear  the  burden  of
19    proving,  by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of the
20    exceptions described in this subsection  (g)  is  applicable.
21    Nothing   in  this  Section  precludes  the  admission  of  a
22    statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
23    used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
24        (h)  The presumption of inadmissibility  of  a  statement
25    made  by  a  suspect  at  a  custodial  interrogation  may be
26    overcome by clear and convincing evidence that the  statement
27    was voluntarily given and is reliable.

28        Section  95.  The State Mandates Act is amended by adding
29    Section 8.25 as follows:

30        (30 ILCS 805/8.25 new)
31        Sec. 8.25.  Exempt mandate.  Notwithstanding  Sections  6
32    and  8 of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required
 
                            -16-             LRB9201426RCcdam
 1    for  the  implementation  of  any  mandate  created  by  this
 2    amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.

 3        Section 99.  Effective date.  Sections 2, 5, 15,  and  95
 4    of  this  Act  and  this Section 99 take effect upon becoming
 5    law.  Sections 10 and 20 of this  Act  take  effect  2  years
 6    after becoming law.".
