3custodial interrogation conducted under this Section of a minor
4who, at the time of the commission of the offense was under the

6reasonable suspicion to believe the minor has committed an act
7that if committed by an adult would be an offense other than an
8offense required to be recorded under subsection (b) or (b-5),
9the interrogators may, without the minor's consent, continue to
10record the interrogation as it relates to the other offense
11notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary. Any oral,
12written, or sign language statement of a minor made as a result

25minor during or following that non-recorded custodial
26interrogation, even if otherwise in compliance with this

 

 

09900SB2370sam003- 8 -LRB099 18370 SLF 48119 a

2proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor
3except for the purposes of impeachment.

5a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal
6proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, before a grand jury,
7or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement made during a
8custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by
9this Section because electronic recording was not feasible,
10(iii) of a voluntary statement, whether or not the result of a
11custodial interrogation, that has a bearing on the credibility
12of the accused as a witness, (iv) of a spontaneous statement
13that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
14made after questioning that is routinely asked during the
15processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
16made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
17requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
18interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is not
19made of the statement, provided that an electronic recording is
20made of the statement of agreeing to respond to the
21interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the
22statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
23interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
24statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when

26occurred, (ix) (blank) of a statement given in violation of

 

 

09900SB2370sam003- 9 -LRB099 18370 SLF 48119 a

1subsection (b-5) at a time when the interrogators are unaware
2of facts and circumstances that would create probable cause to
3believe that the minor committed an act that if committed by an
4adult would be an offense required to be recorded under
5subsection (b-5), or (x) of any other statement that may be
6admissible under law. The State shall bear the burden of
7proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of the
8exceptions described in this subsection (e) is applicable.
9Nothing in this Section precludes the admission of a statement,
10otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is used only
11for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
12    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made
13by a suspect at a custodial interrogation at a police station

2assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not
3court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the
4minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court
