CRIM PRO-PRIOR VIOLENT ACTS                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides  that  in      
   prosecutions  for  offenses  involving the use of force by a defendant      
   when the defendant asserts that he or she was legally justified in the      
   use of force, evidence of the  victim's  prior  violent  acts  is  not      
   admissible  on  the  issue  of  the  defendant's  state of mind or the      
   defendant's perception of  and  reaction  to  the  victim's  behavior,      
   unless  the prior violent acts were actually known to the defendant at      
   the time he or she  committed  the  act  being  prosecuted.  Effective      
   immediately.
