7    Sec. 3-4006. Duties of public defender. The Public
8Defender, as directed by the court, shall act as attorney,

10who are held in custody or who are charged with the commission
11of any criminal offense, and who the court finds are unable to
12employ counsel.
13    The Public Defender shall be the attorney, without fee,
14when so appointed by the court under Section 1-20 of the
15Juvenile Court Act or Section 1-5 of the Juvenile Court Act of
161987 or by any court under Section 5(b) of the Parental Notice

3minor who was under 15 years of age at the time of the

6conducting the custodial interrogation shall ensure that the
7minor is able to consult with an attorney who is under contract
8with the county to provide public defender services.
9Representation by the public defender shall terminate at the
10first court appearance if the court determines that the minor
11is not indigent.
12    Every court shall, with the consent of the defendant and
13where the court finds that the rights of the defendant would be
14prejudiced by the appointment of the public defender, appoint
15counsel other than the public defender, except as otherwise
16provided in Section 113-3 of the "Code of Criminal Procedure of
171963". That counsel shall be compensated as is provided by law.
18He shall also, in the case of the conviction of any such
19person, prosecute any proceeding in review which in his
20judgment the interests of justice require.

7    interrogation was conducted on or after June 1, 2014;

26offense required to be recorded under subsection (b) or (b-5),

 

 

SB2370 Enrolled- 7 -LRB099 18370 SLF 44404 b

1the interrogators may, without the minor's consent, continue to
2record the interrogation as it relates to the other offense

9    (c) Every electronic recording made under this Section must
10be preserved until such time as the minor's adjudication for
11any offense relating to the statement is final and all direct
12and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted, or the prosecution of
13such offenses is barred by law.
14    (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence,
15that the minor was subjected to a custodial interrogation in
16violation of this Section, then any statements made by the
17minor during or following that non-recorded custodial
18interrogation, even if otherwise in compliance with this
19Section, are presumed to be inadmissible in any criminal
20proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor
21except for the purposes of impeachment.
22    (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of
23a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal

26custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by

5that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
6made after questioning that is routinely asked during the

8made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
9requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
10interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is not
11made of the statement, provided that an electronic recording is
12made of the statement of agreeing to respond to the
13interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the
14statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
15interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
16statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when
17the interrogators are unaware that a death has in fact
18occurred, (ix) (blank) of a statement given in violation of
19subsection (b-5) at a time when the interrogators are unaware
20of facts and circumstances that would create probable cause to
21believe that the minor committed an act that if committed by an
22adult would be an offense required to be recorded under
23subsection (b-5), or (x) of any other statement that may be
24admissible under law. The State shall bear the burden of

1Nothing in this Section precludes the admission of a statement,
2otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is used only
3for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
4    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made
5by a suspect at a custodial interrogation at a police station
6or other place of detention may be overcome by a preponderance
7of the evidence that the statement was voluntarily given and is
8reliable, based on the totality of the circumstances.
9    (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a
10minor during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by any
11law enforcement agency as required by this Section for the

14as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act,
15and the information shall not be transmitted to anyone except
16as needed to comply with this Section.

18information made by or obtained from a minor related to the

20assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not
21court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the
22minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court
23proceeding. The provisions of this subsection (h) are in
24addition to and do not override any existing statutory and
25constitutional prohibition on the admission into evidence in
