10        Sec. 5-401.5.  When statements by minor may be used.
11        (a)  In this Section, "custodial interrogation" means any
12    interrogation  (i)  during  which  a reasonable person in the
13    subject's position would consider himself or herself to be in
14    custody and (ii) during which a question  is  asked  that  is
15    reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response.

18        In this Section, "place of detention" means a building or

22    detention in connection with criminal charges  against  those
23    persons  or  allegations  that  those  persons are delinquent
24    minors.
25        (b) An oral, written, or sign  language  statement  of  a
26    minor  who,  at the time of the commission of the offense was
27    under the age of 17 years, made as a result  of  a  custodial
28    interrogation conducted at a police station or other place of
29    detention  on  or after the effective date of this amendatory
30    Act of the 93rd General Assembly  shall  be  presumed  to  be
31    inadmissible  as  evidence  against the minor in any criminal
32    proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, for an act  that  if
 
                            -3-      LRB093 03273 RLC 13542 a
 1    committed  by  an  adult  would be brought under Section 9-1,
 2    9-1.2, 9-2, 9-2.1, 9-3, 9-3.2, or 9-3.3, of the Criminal Code
 3    of 1961 unless:
 4             (1)  an  electronic  recording  is   made   of   the
 5        custodial interrogation; and
 6             (2)  the recording is substantially accurate and not
 7        intentionally altered.
 8        (c)  Every  electronic  recording  required  under   this
 9    Section  must  be  preserved  until  such time as the minor's
10    adjudication for any offense relating  to  the  statement  is
11    final and all direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted,
12    or the prosecution of such offenses is barred by law.
13        (d)  If  the  court  finds,  by  a  preponderance  of the
14    evidence,  that  the  minor  was  subjected  to  a  custodial
15    interrogation  in  violation  of  this  Section,   then   any
16    statements  made  by  the  minor  during  or  following  that
17    non-recorded  custodial  interrogation,  even if otherwise in
18    compliance with this Section, are presumed to be inadmissible
19    in any  criminal  proceeding  or  juvenile  court  proceeding
20    against the minor except for the purposes of impeachment.
21        (e)  Nothing  in this Section precludes the admission (i)
22    of a statement made  by  the  minor  in  open  court  in  any
23    criminal  proceeding  or  juvenile court proceeding, before a
24    grand jury, or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a  statement
25    made  during  a custodial interrogation that was not recorded
26    as required by this Section because electronic recording  was
27    not  feasible, (iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or not
28    the result of a custodial interrogation, that has  a  bearing
29    on  the  credibility  of  the accused as a witness, (iv) of a
30    spontaneous statement  that is not  made  in  response  to  a
31    question,  (v)  of a statement made after questioning that is
32    routinely asked during the processing of the  arrest  of  the
33    suspect,   (vi)  of  a  statement  made  during  a  custodial
34    interrogation by a suspect who requests, prior to making  the
 
                            -4-      LRB093 03273 RLC 13542 a
 1    statement, to respond to the interrogator's questions only if
 2    an  electronic  recording  is  not  made  of  the  statement,
 3    provided   that  an  electronic  recording  is  made  of  the
 4    statement  of  agreeing  to  respond  to  the  interrogator's
 5    question, only if a recording is not made of  the  statement,
 6    (vii)  of  a  statement made during a custodial interrogation
 7    that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a  statement  given
 8    at a time when the interrogators are unaware that a death has
 9    in  fact occurred, or (ix) of any other statement that may be
10    admissible under law.  The State shall  bear  the  burden  of
11    proving,  by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of the
12    exceptions described in this subsection  (e)  is  applicable.
13    Nothing   in  this  Section  precludes  the  admission  of  a
14    statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
15    used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
16        (f)  The presumption of inadmissibility  of  a  statement
17    made  by  a  suspect  at  a  custodial  interrogation  may be
18    overcome  by  a  preponderance  of  the  evidence  that   the
19    statement was voluntarily given and is reliable, based on the
20    totality of the circumstances.
21        (g)  Any  electronic recording of any statement made by a
22    minor during a custodial interrogation that  is  compiled  by
23    any  law  enforcement  agency as required by this Section for
24    the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of  this  Section
25    shall  be  confidential and exempt from public inspection and
26    copying, as provided  under  Section  7  of  the  Freedom  of
27    Information Act, and the information shall not be transmitted
28    to anyone except as needed to comply with this Section.

 2    approving the previous or continuing use of an  eavesdropping
 3    device  must  be  made within 48 hours of the commencement of
 4    such use.  In the absence of  such  an  order,  or  upon  its
 5    denial,  any  continuing use shall immediately terminate. The

15    compliance with this Section, are presumed to be inadmissible
16    in  any  criminal proceeding against the defendant except for
17    the purposes of impeachment.
18        (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the  admission  (i)
19    of  a  statement  made by the accused in open court at his or
20    her trial, before a grand jury, or at a preliminary  hearing,
21    (ii)  of  a  statement  made during a custodial interrogation
22    that was not recorded as required by  this  Section,  because
23    electronic  recording  was not feasible, (iii) of a voluntary
24    statement,  whether  or  not  the  result  of   a   custodial
25    interrogation,  that  has a bearing on the credibility of the
26    accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement that is
27    not made in response to a question, (v) of a  statement  made
28    after   questioning   that  is  routinely  asked  during  the
29    processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a  statement
30    made  during  a  custodial  interrogation  by  a  suspect who
31    requests, prior to making the statement, to  respond  to  the
32    interrogator's  questions  only if an electronic recording is
33    not made  of  the  statement,  provided  that  an  electronic
34    recording  is made of the statement of agreeing to respond to
 
                            -12-     LRB093 03273 RLC 13542 a
 1    the interrogator's question, only if a recording is not  made
 2    of  the  statement,  (vii)  of  a  statement  made  during  a
 3    custodial   interrogation  that  is  conducted  out-of-state,
 4    (viii) of a statement given at a time when the  interrogators
 5    are unaware that a death has in fact occurred, or (ix) of any
 6    other  statement that may be admissible under law.  The State
 7    shall bear the burden of proving, by a preponderance  of  the
 8    evidence,  that  one  of  the  exceptions  described  in this
 9    subsection (e)  is  applicable.    Nothing  in  this  Section
10    precludes   the   admission   of   a   statement,   otherwise
11    inadmissible  under  this  Section,  that  is  used  only for
12    impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
13        (f)  The presumption of inadmissibility  of  a  statement
14    made  by  a  suspect  at  a  custodial  interrogation  may be
15    overcome  by  a  preponderance  of  the  evidence  that   the
16    statement was voluntarily given and is reliable, based on the
17    totality of the circumstances.
18        (g)  Any electronic recording of any statement made by an
19    accused  during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by
20    any law enforcement agency as required by  this  Section  for
21    the  purposes  of fulfilling the requirements of this Section
22    shall be confidential and exempt from public  inspection  and
23    copying,  as  provided  under  Section  7  of  the Freedom of
24    Information Act, and the information shall not be transmitted
25    to anyone except as needed to comply with this Section.
