|
(720 ILCS 5/3-4) (from Ch. 38, par. 3-4)
|
Sec. 3-4. Effect of
former prosecution.
|
(a) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly |
prosecuted
for the same offense, based upon the same facts, if |
that such former
prosecution:
|
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an |
acquittal or in a
determination that the evidence was |
insufficient to warrant a conviction;
or
|
|
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, |
even if entered
before trial, that which required a |
determination inconsistent with any fact or
legal |
proposition necessary to a conviction in the subsequent |
prosecution;
or
|
(3) was Was terminated improperly after the jury was |
impaneled and sworn
or, in a trial before a court without a |
jury, after the first witness was
sworn but before findings |
were rendered by the trier of facts, or after a
plea of |
guilty was accepted by the court.
|
A conviction of an included offense , other than through a |
plea of guilty, is an acquittal of the offense
charged.
|
(b) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly |
prosecuted for
a different offense, or for the same offense |
based upon different facts, if that
such former prosecution:
|
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an |
acquittal, and the
subsequent prosecution is for an offense |
of which the defendant could have
been convicted on the |
former prosecution; or was for an offense with which
the |
defendant should have been charged on the former |
prosecution, as
provided in Section 3-3 of this Code |
(unless the court ordered a separate
trial of that such |
charge); or was for an offense that which involves the same
|
conduct, unless each prosecution requires proof of a fact |
not required on
the other prosecution, or the offense was |
not consummated when the former
trial began; or
|
|
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, |
even if entered
before trial, that which required a |
determination inconsistent with any fact
necessary to a |
conviction in the subsequent prosecution; or
|
(3) was Was terminated improperly under the |
circumstances stated in
subsection Subsection (a), and the |
subsequent prosecution is for an offense of which
the |
defendant could have been convicted if the former |
prosecution had not
been terminated improperly.
|
(c) A prosecution is barred if the defendant was formerly |
prosecuted in
a District Court of the United States or in a |
sister state State for an offense that
which is within the |
concurrent jurisdiction of this State, if that such former
|
prosecution:
|
(1) resulted Resulted in either a conviction or an |
acquittal, and the
subsequent prosecution is for the same |
conduct, unless each prosecution
requires proof of a fact |
not required in the other prosecution, or the
offense was |
not consummated when the former trial began; or
|
(2) was Was terminated by a final order or judgment, |
even if entered
before trial, that which required a |
determination inconsistent with any fact
necessary to a |
conviction in the prosecution in this State.
|
(d) A However, a prosecution is not barred within the |
meaning of this
Section 3-4 , however, if the former |
prosecution:
|
|
(1) was Was before a court that which lacked |
jurisdiction over the defendant
or the offense; or
|
(2) was Was procured by the defendant without the |
knowledge of the proper
prosecuting officer, and with the |
purpose of avoiding the sentence that which
otherwise might |
be imposed; or if subsequent proceedings resulted in the
|
invalidation, setting aside, reversal, or vacating of the |
conviction,
unless the defendant was thereby adjudged not |
guilty.

(720 ILCS 5/4-5) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-5)
|
Sec. 4-5. Knowledge. A person knows, or acts knowingly or |
with knowledge of:
|
(a) The nature or attendant circumstances of his or her |
conduct, described by
the statute defining the offense, |
when he or she is consciously aware that his or her
conduct |
is of that such nature or that those such circumstances |
exist. Knowledge of a
material fact includes awareness of |
the substantial probability that the such
fact exists.
|
(b) The result of his or her conduct, described by the |
statute defining the
offense, when he or she is consciously |
aware that that such result is practically
certain to be |
caused by his conduct.
|
Conduct performed knowingly or with knowledge is performed |
wilfully,
within the meaning of a statute using the latter term |
|
"willfully" , unless the statute
clearly requires another |
meaning.
|
When the law provides that acting knowingly suffices to |
establish an element of an offense, that element also is |
established if a person acts intentionally. |
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
|
(720 ILCS 5/4-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-6)
|
Sec. 4-6. Recklessness. A person is reckless or acts |
recklessly , when that person he consciously disregards
a |
substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or |
that a
result will follow, described by the statute defining |
the offense , ; and that such
disregard constitutes a gross |
deviation from the standard of care that which a
reasonable |
person would exercise in the situation. An act performed
|
recklessly is performed wantonly, within the meaning of a |
statute using the
latter term "wantonly" , unless the statute |
clearly requires another meaning.
|
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
|
(720 ILCS 5/4-7) (from Ch. 38, par. 4-7)
|
Sec. 4-7. Negligence. A person is negligent, or acts |
negligently, when that person he fails to be aware of
a |
substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or |
a result
will follow, described by the statute defining the |
offense , ; and that such
failure constitutes a substantial |
|
deviation from the standard of care that which
a reasonable |
person would exercise in the situation.
|
(Source: Laws 1961, p. 1983.)
|
(720 ILCS 5/5-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 5-2)
|
Sec. 5-2. When
accountability exists. A person is legally |
accountable for the conduct of another when:
|
(a) having Having a mental state described by the statute |
defining the offense,
he or she causes another to perform the |
conduct, and the other person in fact or
by reason of legal |
incapacity lacks such a mental state; or
|
(b) the The statute defining the offense makes him or her |
so accountable; or
|
(c) either Either before or during the commission of an |
offense, and with the
intent to promote or facilitate that such |
commission, he or she solicits, aids, abets,
agrees , or |
attempts to aid that , such other person in the planning or |
commission
of the offense. |
When 2 or more persons engage in a common criminal design |
or agreement, any acts in the furtherance of that common design |
committed by one party are considered to be the acts of all |
parties to the common design or agreement and all are equally |
responsible for the consequences of those further acts. Mere |
presence at the scene of a crime does not render a person |
accountable for an offense; a person's presence at the scene of |
a crime, however, may be considered with other circumstances by |
|
the trier of fact when determining accountability. |
A However, a person is not so accountable, however, unless |
the statute
defining the offense provides otherwise, if:
|
(1) he or she He is a victim of the offense committed; |
or
|
(2) the The offense is so defined that his or her |
conduct was inevitably
incident to its commission; or
|
(3) before Before the commission of the offense, he or |
she terminates his or her effort to
promote or facilitate |
that such commission , and does one of the following: (i)
|
wholly deprives his or her prior efforts of effectiveness |
in that such commission, (ii) or
gives timely warning to |
the proper law enforcement authorities, or (iii)
otherwise |
makes proper effort to prevent the commission of the |
offense.

offense
punishable with death, by reason of conduct that which |
he or she performs under the
compulsion of threat or menace of |
the imminent infliction of death or great
bodily harm, if he or |
she reasonably believes death or great bodily harm will be
|
inflicted upon him or her, or upon his or her spouse or child, |
if he or she does not perform that such conduct.
|
|
(b) A married woman is not entitled, by reason of the |

except that stated in subsection |

subsection (b) and to consider any |
aggravating or mitigating factors as
indicated in subsection |
(c). The proceeding shall be conducted:
|

|
During the proceeding any information relevant to any of |
the factors
set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by |
either the State or the
defendant under the rules governing the |
admission of evidence at
criminal trials. Any information |
relevant to any additional aggravating
factors or any |
mitigating factors indicated in subsection (c) may be
presented |
|
by the State or defendant regardless of its admissibility
under |
the rules governing the admission of evidence at criminal |
trials.

information received at the hearing.
|
(f) Proof.
|
The burden of proof of establishing the existence of any of |
the
factors set forth in subsection (b) is on the State and |
shall not be
satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable |
doubt.
|
(g) Procedure - Jury.
|
If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds |
that none of
the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists, |
the court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of |
imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of |
Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
|
one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist, |
the jury
shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as |
instructed by the
court and shall determine whether the |
sentence of death shall be
imposed. If the jury determines |
unanimously, after weighing the factors in
aggravation and |
mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court |
shall sentence the defendant to death.
If the court does not |
concur with the jury determination that death is the
|
appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in |
writing
including what facts or circumstances the court relied |
upon,
along with any relevant
documents, that compelled the |
|
court to non-concur with the sentence. This
document and any |
attachments shall be part of the record for appellate
review. |
The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing |
determination.
|
If after weighing the factors in aggravation and |
mitigation, one or more
jurors determines that death is not the |
appropriate sentence,
the
court shall sentence the defendant to |
a term of imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of |
Corrections.
|
(h) Procedure - No Jury.
|
In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds |
that none
of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the |
court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of imprisonment |
under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of Corrections.
|
If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set |
forth in
subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any |
aggravating and
mitigating factors as indicated in subsection |
(c). If the Court
determines, after weighing the factors in |
aggravation and mitigation, that
death is the appropriate |
sentence, the Court shall sentence the
defendant to death.
|
If
the court finds that death is not the
appropriate |
sentence, the
court shall sentence the defendant to a term of |
imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of |
Corrections.
|
(h-5) Decertification as a capital case.
|
In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of |
|
first degree murder
by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for |
resentencing, and the State seeks
the death penalty as an |
appropriate
sentence,
on the court's own motion or the written |
motion of the defendant, the court
may decertify the case as a |
death penalty case if the court finds that the only
evidence |
supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated |
testimony
of an informant witness, as defined in Section 115-21 |
of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963, concerning the |
confession or admission of the defendant or
that the sole |
evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
|
accomplice without any other corroborating evidence.
If the |
court decertifies the case as a capital case
under either of |
the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a
written |
finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the |
decertification
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If |
the court does not
decertify the case as a capital case, the |
matter shall proceed to the
eligibility phase of the sentencing |
hearing.
|
(i) Appellate Procedure.
|
The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to |
automatic
review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in |
accordance with
rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.
The |
Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and |
order the
imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the |
Unified Code of
Corrections if the court finds that the death |
sentence is fundamentally
unjust as applied to the particular |
|
case.
If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the
death |
sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular |
case,
independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the |
Illinois Supreme Court
shall issue a written opinion explaining |
this finding.
|
(j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
|
In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to |
be
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States |
or of the
State of Illinois, any person convicted of first |
degree murder shall be
sentenced by the court to a term of |
imprisonment under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of |
Corrections.
|
In the event that any death sentence pursuant to the |
sentencing
provisions of this Section is declared |
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States or |
of the State of Illinois, the court having
jurisdiction over a |
person previously sentenced to death shall cause the
defendant |
to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
|
the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
|
Unified Code of Corrections.
|
(k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
|
The Attorney General and
State's Attorneys Association |
shall consult on voluntary guidelines for
procedures governing |
whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines
do not
|
have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.

either of the
mitigating factors defined in subsection (a) of |
this Section has been

a reasonable doubt each
of the elements of first degree murder.

the State of Illinois any profits or proceeds and any interest |
or property he or she has acquired or maintained in violation |

|
sentencing court determines, after a forfeiture hearing, to |
have been acquired or maintained as a result of maintaining a |
person in involuntary servitude or participating in |
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services. |
Upon petition by the Attorney General or State's Attorney |
at any time following sentencing, the court shall conduct a |
hearing to determine whether any property or property interest |
is subject to forfeiture under this Section. At the forfeiture |
hearing the People have the burden of establishing, by a |
preponderance of the evidence, that property or property |
interests are subject to forfeiture under this Section. |
In any action brought by the People of the State of |
Illinois under this Section, in which a restraining order, |
injunction, or prohibition or any other action in connection |
with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under this |
Section is sought, the circuit court presiding over the trial |
of the person or persons charged with involuntary servitude, |
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in |
persons for forced labor or services shall first determine |
whether there is probable cause to believe that the person or |
persons so charged have committed the offense of involuntary |
servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or |
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services and whether |
the property or interest is subject to forfeiture under this |
Section. In order to make that determination, prior to entering |
any such order, the court shall conduct a hearing without a |
|
jury, in which the People shall establish that there is: (i) |
probable cause that the person or persons so charged have |
committed the offense of involuntary servitude, involuntary |
sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in persons for |
forced labor or services and (ii) probable cause that any |
property or interest may be subject to forfeiture under this |
Section. The hearing may be conducted simultaneously with a |
preliminary hearing, if the prosecution is commenced by |
information or complaint, or by motion of the People, at any |
stage in the proceedings. The court may accept a finding of |
probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing of |
an information charging the offense of involuntary servitude, |
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in |
persons for forced labor or services or the return of an |
indictment by a grand jury charging the offense of involuntary |
servitude, involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or |
trafficking in persons for forced labor or services as |
sufficient evidence of probable cause as provided in item (i) |
of this paragraph. Upon a finding, the circuit court shall |
enter the restraining order, injunction, or prohibition, or |
shall take such other action in connection with any such |
property or other interest subject to forfeiture, as is |
necessary to ensure that the property is not removed from the |
jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed, or otherwise |
disposed of by the owner of that property or interest prior to |
a forfeiture hearing under this Section. The Attorney General |
|
or State's Attorney shall file a certified copy of the |
restraining order, injunction, or other prohibition with the |
recorder or registrar of titles of each county where any such |
property of the defendant may be located. No such injunction, |
restraining order, or other prohibition shall affect the rights |
of any bona fide purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor, or |
other lien holder arising prior to the date of that filing. At |
any time, upon verified petition by the defendant or an |
innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder |
who neither had knowledge of, nor consented to, the illegal act |
or omission, the court may conduct a hearing to release all or |
portions of any such property or interest that the court |
previously determined to be subject to forfeiture or subject to |
any restraining order, injunction, or prohibition or other |
action. The court may release that property to the defendant or |
innocent owner or innocent bona fide third party lien holder |
who neither had knowledge of nor consented to the illegal act |
or omission for good cause shown and within the sound |
discretion of the court. |
Upon conviction of a person of involuntary servitude, |
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, or trafficking in |
persons for forced labor or services, the court shall authorize |
the Attorney General to seize all property or other interest |
declared forfeited under this Section upon terms and conditions |
the court deems proper. |
All moneys forfeited and the sale proceeds of all other |
|
property forfeited and seized under this Section shall be |
distributed as follows: |
(1) one-half shall be divided equally between all State |
agencies and units of local government whose officers or |
employees conducted the investigation that resulted in the |
forfeiture; and |
(2) one-half shall be deposited into the Violent Crime
|
Victims Assistance Fund and targeted to services for |
victims of the offenses of involuntary servitude, |
involuntary sexual servitude of a minor, and trafficking in |
persons for forced labor or services.

(e) Duty to enforce this Article. |
(1) It is the duty of the Department of State Police, |
|
and its agents, officers, and investigators, to enforce all |
provisions of this Article, except those specifically |
delegated, and to cooperate with all agencies charged with |
the enforcement of the laws of the United States, or of any |
state, relating to money laundering. Only an agent, |
officer, or investigator designated by the Director may be |
authorized in accordance with this Section to serve seizure |
notices, warrants, subpoenas, and summonses under the |
authority of this State. |
(2) Any agent, officer, investigator, or peace officer |
designated by the Director may: (A) make seizure of |
property pursuant to the provisions of this Article; and |
(B) perform such other law enforcement duties as the |
Director designates. It is the duty of all State's |
Attorneys to prosecute violations of this Article and |
institute legal proceedings as authorized under this |
Article. |
(f) Protective orders. |
(1) Upon application of the State, the court may enter |
a restraining order or injunction, require the execution of |
a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other action |
to preserve the availability of property described in |
subsection (h) for forfeiture under this Article: |
(A) upon the filing of an indictment, information, |
or complaint charging a violation of this Article for |
which forfeiture may be ordered under this Article and |
|
alleging that the property with respect to which the |
order is sought would be subject to forfeiture under |
this Article; or
|
(B) prior to the filing of such an indictment, |
information, or complaint, if, after notice to persons |
appearing to have an interest in the property and |
opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that: |
(i) there is probable cause to believe that the |
State will prevail on the issue of forfeiture and |
that failure to enter the order will result in the |
property being destroyed, removed from the |
jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made |
unavailable for forfeiture; and |
(ii) the need to preserve the availability of |
the property through the entry of the requested |
order outweighs the hardship on any party against |
whom the order is to be entered. |
Provided, however, that an order entered pursuant |
to subparagraph (B) shall be effective for not more |
than 90 days, unless extended by the court for good |
cause shown or unless an indictment, information, |
complaint, or administrative notice has been filed. |
(2) A temporary restraining order under this |
subsection may be entered upon application of the State |
without notice or opportunity for a hearing when an |
indictment, information, complaint, or administrative |
|
notice has not yet been filed with respect to the property, |
if the State demonstrates that there is probable cause to |
believe that the property with respect to which the order |
is sought would be subject to forfeiture under this Section |
and that provision of notice will jeopardize the |
availability of the property for forfeiture. Such a |
temporary order shall expire not more than 30 days after |
the date on which it is entered, unless extended for good |
cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered |
consents to an extension for a longer period. A hearing |
requested concerning an order entered under this paragraph |
shall be held at the earliest possible time and prior to |
the expiration of the temporary order. |
(3) The court may receive and consider, at a hearing |
held pursuant to this subsection (f), evidence and |
information that would be inadmissible under the Illinois |
rules of evidence.
|
(4) Order to repatriate and deposit. |
(A) In general. Pursuant to its authority to enter |
a pretrial restraining order under this Section, the |
court may order a defendant to repatriate any property |
that may be seized and forfeited and to deposit that |
property pending trial with the Illinois State Police |
or another law enforcement agency designated by the |
Illinois State Police. |
(B) Failure to comply. Failure to comply with an |
|
order under this subsection (f) is punishable as a |
civil or criminal contempt of court.
|
(g) Warrant of seizure. The State may request the issuance |
of a warrant authorizing the seizure of property described in |
subsection (h) in the same manner as provided for a search |
warrant. If the court determines that there is probable cause |
to believe that the property to be seized would be subject to |
forfeiture, the court shall issue a warrant authorizing the |
seizure of such property. |
(h) Forfeiture. |
(1) The following are subject to forfeiture: |
(A) any property, real or personal, constituting, |
derived from, or traceable to any proceeds the person |
obtained directly or indirectly, as a result of a |

to be used, in any manner or part, to commit, or to |
facilitate the commission of, a violation of this |
Article; |
(C) all conveyances, including aircraft, vehicles |
or vessels, which are used, or intended for use, to |
transport, or in any manner to facilitate the |
transportation, sale, receipt, possession, or |
concealment of property described in subparagraphs (A) |
and (B), but: |
(i) no conveyance used by any person as a |
|
common carrier in the transaction of business as a |

Section unless it appears that the owner or other |
person in charge of the conveyance is a consenting |
party or privy to a violation of this Article; |
(ii) no conveyance is subject to forfeiture |
under this Section by reason of any act or omission |
which the owner proves to have been committed or |
omitted without his or her knowledge or consent; |
(iii) a forfeiture of a conveyance encumbered |
by a bona fide security interest is subject to the |
interest of the secured party if he or she neither |
had knowledge of nor consented to the act or |
omission; |
(D) all real property, including any right, title, |
and interest (including, but not limited to, any |
leasehold interest or the beneficial interest in a land |
trust) in the whole of any lot or tract of land and any |
appurtenances or improvements, which is used or |
intended to be used, in any manner or part, to commit, |
or in any manner to facilitate the commission of, any |
violation of this Article or that is the proceeds of |
any violation or act that constitutes a violation of |
this Article.
|
(2) Property subject to forfeiture under this Article |
may be seized by the Director or any peace officer upon |
|
process or seizure warrant issued by any court having |
jurisdiction over the property. Seizure by the Director or |
any peace officer without process may be made: |
(A) if the seizure is incident to a seizure |
warrant; |
(B) if the property subject to seizure has been the |
subject of a prior judgment in favor of the State in a |
criminal proceeding, or in an injunction or forfeiture |
proceeding based upon this Article; |
(C) if there is probable cause to believe that the |
property is directly or indirectly dangerous to health |
or safety; |
(D) if there is probable cause to believe that the |
property is subject to forfeiture under this Article |
and the property is seized under circumstances in which |
a warrantless seizure or arrest would be reasonable; or |
(E) in accordance with the Code of Criminal |
Procedure of 1963. |
(3) In the event of seizure pursuant to paragraph (2), |
forfeiture proceedings shall be instituted in accordance |
with subsections (i) through (r). |
(4) Property taken or detained under this Section shall |
not be subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the |
custody of the Director subject only to the order and |
judgments of the circuit court having jurisdiction over the |
forfeiture proceedings and the decisions of the State's |
|
Attorney under this Article. When property is seized under |
this Article, the seizing agency shall promptly conduct an |
inventory of the seized property and estimate the |
property's value and shall forward a copy of the inventory |
of seized property and the estimate of the property's value |
to the Director. Upon receiving notice of seizure, the |
Director may: |
(A) place the property under seal; |
(B) remove the property to a place designated by |
the Director; |
(C) keep the property in the possession of the |
seizing agency; |
(D) remove the property to a storage area for |
safekeeping or, if the property is a negotiable |
instrument or money and is not needed for evidentiary |
purposes, deposit it in an interest bearing account; |
(E) place the property under constructive seizure |
by posting notice of pending forfeiture on it, by |
giving notice of pending forfeiture to its owners and |
interest holders, or by filing notice of pending |
forfeiture in any appropriate public record relating |
to the property; or |
(F) provide for another agency or custodian, |
including an owner, secured party, or lienholder, to |
take custody of the property upon the terms and |
conditions set by the Director. |
|
(5) When property is forfeited under this Article, the |
Director shall sell all such property unless such property |
is required by law to be destroyed or is harmful to the |
public, and shall distribute the proceeds of the sale, |
together with any moneys forfeited or seized, in accordance |
with paragraph (6). However, upon the application of the |
seizing agency or prosecutor who was responsible for the |
investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution which |
lead to the forfeiture, the Director may return any item of |
forfeited property to the seizing agency or prosecutor for |
official use in the enforcement of laws, if the agency or |
prosecutor can demonstrate that the item requested would be |
useful to the agency or prosecutor in its enforcement |
efforts. When any real property returned to the seizing |
agency is sold by the agency or its unit of government, the |
proceeds of the sale shall be delivered to the Director and |
distributed in accordance with paragraph (6). |
(6) All monies and the sale proceeds of all other |
property forfeited and seized under this Article shall be |
distributed as follows: |
(A) 65% shall be distributed to the metropolitan |
enforcement group, local, municipal, county, or State |
law enforcement agency or agencies which conducted or |
participated in the investigation resulting in the |
forfeiture. The distribution shall bear a reasonable |
relationship to the degree of direct participation of |
|
the law enforcement agency in the effort resulting in |
the forfeiture, taking into account the total value of |
the property forfeited and the total law enforcement |
effort with respect to the violation of the law upon |
which the forfeiture is based. Amounts distributed to |
the agency or agencies shall be used for the |
enforcement of laws. |
(B)(i) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office of |
the State's Attorney of the county in which the |
prosecution resulting in the forfeiture was |
instituted, deposited in a special fund in the county |
treasury and appropriated to the State's Attorney for |
use in the enforcement of laws. In counties over |
3,000,000 population, 25% shall be distributed to the |
Office of the State's Attorney for use in the |
enforcement of laws. If the prosecution is undertaken |
solely by the Attorney General, the portion provided |
hereunder shall be distributed to the Attorney General |
for use in the enforcement of laws. |
(ii) 12.5% shall be distributed to the Office |
of the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor and |
deposited in the Narcotics Profit Forfeiture Fund |
of that office to be used for additional expenses |
incurred in the investigation, prosecution and |
appeal of cases arising under laws. The Office of |
the State's Attorneys Appellate Prosecutor shall |
|
not receive distribution from cases brought in |
counties with over 3,000,000 population. |
(C) 10% shall be retained by the Department of |
State Police for expenses related to the |
administration and sale of seized and forfeited |
property. |
(i) Notice to owner or interest holder. |
(1) Whenever notice of pending forfeiture or service of |
an in rem complaint is required under the provisions of |
this Article, such notice or service shall be given as |
follows: |
(A) If the owner's or interest holder's name and |
current address are known, then by either personal |
service or mailing a copy of the notice by certified |
mail, return receipt requested, to that address. For |
purposes of notice under this Section, if a person has |
been arrested for the conduct giving rise to the |
forfeiture, then the address provided to the arresting |
agency at the time of arrest shall be deemed to be that |
person's known address. Provided, however, if an owner |
or interest holder's address changes prior to the |
effective date of the notice of pending forfeiture, the |
owner or interest holder shall promptly notify the |
seizing agency of the change in address or, if the |
owner or interest holder's address changes subsequent |
to the effective date of the notice of pending |
|
forfeiture, the owner or interest holder shall |
promptly notify the State's Attorney of the change in |
address; or |
(B) If the property seized is a conveyance, to the |
address reflected in the office of the agency or |
official in which title or interest to the conveyance |
is required by law to be recorded, then by mailing a |
copy of the notice by certified mail, return receipt |
requested, to that address; or |
(C) If the owner's or interest holder's address is |
not known, and is not on record as provided in |
paragraph (B), then by publication for 3 successive |
weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the |
county in which the seizure occurred. |
(2) Notice served under this Article is effective upon |
personal service, the last date of publication, or the |
mailing of written notice, whichever is earlier. |
(j) Notice to State's Attorney. The law enforcement agency |
seizing property for forfeiture under this Article shall, |
within 90 days after seizure, notify the State's Attorney for |
the county, either where an act or omission giving rise to the |
forfeiture occurred or where the property was seized, of the |
seizure of the property and the facts and circumstances giving |
rise to the seizure and shall provide the State's Attorney with |
the inventory of the property and its estimated value. When the |
property seized for forfeiture is a vehicle, the law |
|
enforcement agency seizing the property shall immediately |
notify the Secretary of State that forfeiture proceedings are |
pending regarding such vehicle. |
(k) Non-judicial forfeiture. If non-real property that |
exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance, |
or if real property is seized under the provisions of this |
Article, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial in rem |
forfeiture proceedings as described in subsection (l) of this |
Section within 45 days from receipt of notice of seizure from |
the seizing agency under subsection (j) of this Section. |
However, if non-real property that does not exceed $20,000 in |
value excluding the value of any conveyance is seized, the |
following procedure shall be used: |
(1) If, after review of the facts surrounding the |
seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the |
seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 |
days after the receipt of notice of seizure from the |
seizing agency, the State's Attorney shall cause notice of |
pending forfeiture to be given to the owner of the property |
and all known interest holders of the property in |
accordance with subsection (i) of this Section. |
(2) The notice of pending forfeiture must include a |
description of the property, the estimated value of the |
property, the date and place of seizure, the conduct giving |
rise to forfeiture or the violation of law alleged, and a |
summary of procedures and procedural rights applicable to |
|
the forfeiture action. |
(3)(A) Any person claiming an interest in property |
which is the subject of notice under paragraph (1) of this |
subsection (k), must, in order to preserve any rights or |
claims to the property, within 45 days after the effective |
date of notice as described in subsection (i) of this |
Section, file a verified claim with the State's Attorney |
expressing his or her interest in the property. The claim |
must set forth: |
(i) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on |
the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the |
claimant; |
(ii) the address at which the claimant will accept |
mail; |
(iii) the nature and extent of the claimant's |
interest in the property; |
(iv) the date, identity of the transferor, and |
circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the |
interest in the property;
|
(v) the name and address of all other persons known |
to have an interest in the property; |
(vi) the specific provision of law relied on in |
asserting the property is not subject to forfeiture; |
(vii) all essential facts supporting each |
assertion; and |
(viii) the relief sought. |
|
(B) If a claimant files the claim and deposits with the |
State's Attorney a cost bond, in the form of a cashier's |
check payable to the clerk of the court, in the sum of 10% |
of the reasonable value of the property as alleged by the |
State's Attorney or the sum of $100, whichever is greater, |
upon condition that, in the case of forfeiture, the |
claimant must pay all costs and expenses of forfeiture |
proceedings, then the State's Attorney shall institute |
judicial in rem forfeiture proceedings and deposit the cost |
bond with the clerk of the court as described in subsection |
(l) of this Section within 45 days after receipt of the |
claim and cost bond. In lieu of a cost bond, a person |
claiming interest in the seized property may file, under |
penalty of perjury, an indigency affidavit which has been |
approved by a circuit court judge. |
(C) If none of the seized property is forfeited in the |
judicial in rem proceeding, the clerk of the court shall |
return to the claimant, unless the court orders otherwise, |
90% of the sum which has been deposited and shall retain as |
costs 10% of the money deposited. If any of the seized |
property is forfeited under the judicial forfeiture |
proceeding, the clerk of the court shall transfer 90% of |
the sum which has been deposited to the State's Attorney |
prosecuting the civil forfeiture to be applied to the costs |
of prosecution and the clerk shall retain as costs 10% of |
the sum deposited. |
|
(4) If no claim is filed or bond given within the 45 |
day period as described in paragraph (3) of this subsection |
(k), the State's Attorney shall declare the property |
forfeited and shall promptly notify the owner and all known |
interest holders of the property and the Director of State |
Police of the declaration of forfeiture and the Director |
shall dispose of the property in accordance with law. |
(l) Judicial in rem procedures. If property seized under |
the provisions of this Article is non-real property that |
exceeds $20,000 in value excluding the value of any conveyance, |
or is real property, or a claimant has filed a claim and a cost |
bond under paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section, the |
following judicial in rem procedures shall apply: |
(1) If, after a review of the facts surrounding the |
seizure, the State's Attorney is of the opinion that the |
seized property is subject to forfeiture, then within 45 |
days of the receipt of notice of seizure by the seizing |
agency or the filing of the claim and cost bond, whichever |
is later, the State's Attorney shall institute judicial |
forfeiture proceedings by filing a verified complaint for |
forfeiture and, if the claimant has filed a claim and cost |
bond, by depositing the cost bond with the clerk of the |
court. When authorized by law, a forfeiture must be ordered |
by a court on an action in rem brought by a State's |
Attorney under a verified complaint for forfeiture. |
(2) During the probable cause portion of the judicial |
|
in rem proceeding wherein the State presents its |
case-in-chief, the court must receive and consider, among |
other things, all relevant hearsay evidence and |
information. The laws of evidence relating to civil actions |
apply to all other portions of the judicial in rem |
proceeding. |
(3) Only an owner of or interest holder in the property |
may file an answer asserting a claim against the property |
in the action in rem. For purposes of this Section, the |
owner or interest holder shall be referred to as claimant. |
Upon motion of the State, the court shall first hold a |
hearing, wherein any claimant must establish by a |
preponderance of the evidence, that he or she has a lawful, |
legitimate ownership interest in the property and that it |
was obtained through a lawful source. |
(4) The answer must be signed by the owner or interest |
holder under penalty of perjury and must set forth: |
(A) the caption of the proceedings as set forth on |
the notice of pending forfeiture and the name of the |
claimant; |
(B) the address at which the claimant will accept |
mail; |
(C) the nature and extent of the claimant's |
interest in the property; |
(D) the date, identity of transferor, and |
circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the |
|
interest in the property; |
(E) the name and address of all other persons known |
to have an interest in the property; |
(F) all essential facts supporting each assertion; |
and |
(G) the precise relief sought.
|
(5) The answer must be filed with the court within 45 |
days after service of the civil in rem complaint. |
(6) The hearing must be held within 60 days after |
filing of the answer unless continued for good cause.
|
(7) The State shall show the existence of probable |
cause for forfeiture of the property. If the State shows |
probable cause, the claimant has the burden of showing by a |
preponderance of the evidence that the claimant's interest |
in the property is not subject to forfeiture.
|
(8) If the State does not show existence of probable |
cause, the court shall order the interest in the property |
returned or conveyed to the claimant and shall order all |
other property forfeited to the State. If the State does |
show existence of probable cause, the court shall order all |
property forfeited to the State. |
(9) A defendant convicted in any criminal proceeding is |
precluded from later denying the essential allegations of |
the criminal offense of which the defendant was convicted |
in any proceeding under this Article regardless of the |
pendency of an appeal from that conviction. However, |
|
evidence of the pendency of an appeal is admissible. |
(10) An acquittal or dismissal in a criminal proceeding |
does not preclude civil proceedings under this Article; |
however, for good cause shown, on a motion by the State's |
Attorney, the court may stay civil forfeiture proceedings |
during the criminal trial for a related criminal indictment |
or information alleging a money laundering violation. Such |
a stay shall not be available pending an appeal. Property |
subject to forfeiture under this Article shall not be |
subject to return or release by a court exercising |
jurisdiction over a criminal case involving the seizure of |
such property unless such return or release is consented to |
by the State's Attorney. |
(11) All property declared forfeited under this |
Article vests in this State on the commission of the |
conduct giving rise to forfeiture together with the |
proceeds of the property after that time. Any such property |
or proceeds subsequently transferred to any person remain |
subject to forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered |
forfeited. |
(12) A civil action under this Article must be |
commenced within 5 years after the last conduct giving rise |
to forfeiture became known or should have become known or 5 |
years after the forfeitable property is discovered, |
whichever is later, excluding any time during which either |
the property or claimant is out of the State or in |
|
confinement or during which criminal proceedings relating |
to the same conduct are in progress. |
(m) Stay of time periods. If property is seized for |
evidence and for forfeiture, the time periods for instituting |
judicial and non-judicial forfeiture proceedings shall not |
begin until the property is no longer necessary for evidence. |
(n) Settlement of claims. Notwithstanding other provisions |
of this Article, the State's Attorney and a claimant of seized |
property may enter into an agreed-upon settlement concerning |
the seized property in such an amount and upon such terms as |
are set out in writing in a settlement agreement. |
(o) Property constituting attorney fees. Nothing in this |
Article applies to property which constitutes reasonable bona |
fide attorney's fees paid to an attorney for services rendered |
or to be rendered in the forfeiture proceeding or criminal |
proceeding relating directly thereto where such property was |
paid before its seizure, before the issuance of any seizure |
warrant or court order prohibiting transfer of the property and |
where the attorney, at the time he or she received the property |
did not know that it was property subject to forfeiture under |
this Article. |
(p) Construction. It is the intent of the General Assembly |
that the forfeiture provisions of this Article be liberally |
construed so as to effect their remedial purpose. The |
forfeiture of property and other remedies hereunder shall be |
considered to be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any |
|
sentence or other remedy provided by law. |
(q) Judicial review. If property has been declared |
forfeited under subsection (k) of this Section, any person who |
has an interest in the property declared forfeited may, within |
30 days after the effective date of the notice of the |
declaration of forfeiture, file a claim and cost bond as |
described in paragraph (3) of subsection (k) of this Section. |
If a claim and cost bond is filed under this Section, then the |
procedures described in subsection (l) of this Section apply. |
(r) Burden of proof of exemption or exception. It is not |
necessary for the State to negate any exemption or exception in |
this Article in any complaint, information, indictment or other |
pleading or in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding under |
this Article. The burden of proof of any exemption or exception |
is upon the person claiming it. |
(s) Review of administrative decisions.
All administrative |
findings, rulings, final determinations, findings, and |
conclusions of the State's Attorney's Office under this Article |
are final and conclusive decisions of the matters involved. Any |
person aggrieved by the decision may obtain review of the |
decision pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative |
Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant to that Law. Pending |
final decision on such review, the administrative acts, orders, |
and rulings of the State's Attorney's Office remain in full |
force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court |
pending final judicial decision. Pending final decision on such |
|
review, the acts, orders, and rulings of the State's Attorney's |
Office remain in full force and effect, unless stayed by order |
of court. However, no stay of any decision of the |
administrative agency shall issue unless the person aggrieved |
by the decision establishes by a preponderance of the evidence |
that good cause exists for the stay. In determining good cause, |
the court shall find that the aggrieved party has established a |
substantial likelihood of prevailing on the merits and that |
granting the stay will not have an injurious effect on the |
general public.
