14    Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
15amended by changing Section 110-6.1 as follows:

17    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652)
18    Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony
19offenses.
20    (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall
21hold a hearing to determine whether bail should be denied to a
22defendant who is charged with a felony offense for which a
23sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
24imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon

 

 

SB3128- 49 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission
2to bail poses a real and present threat to the physical safety
3of any person or persons.
4        (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
5    the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
6    within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
7    110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
8    reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such
9    petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
10    previously released shall not be detained.
11        (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the
12    defendant's appearance before the court, unless for good
13    cause shown the defendant or the State seeks a
14    continuance. A continuance on motion of the defendant may
15    not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the
16    motion of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The
17    defendant may be held in custody during such continuance.
18    (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after
19the hearing, it is determined that:
20        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
21    the defendant has committed an offense for which a
22    sentence of imprisonment, without probation, periodic
23    imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed by
24    law as a consequence of conviction, and
25        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
26    the physical safety of any person or persons, by conduct

 

 

SB3128- 50 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1    which may include, but is not limited to, a forcible
2    felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation, injury,
3    physical harm, an offense under the Illinois Controlled
4    Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense
5    under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection
6    Act which is a Class X felony, and
7        (3) the court finds that no condition or combination
8    of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of Section
9    110-10 of this Article, can reasonably assure the physical
10    safety of any other person or persons.
11    (c) Conduct of the hearings.
12        (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and
13    dangerousness shall be conducted in accordance with the
14    following provisions:
15            (A) Information used by the court in its findings
16        or stated in or offered at such hearing may be by way
17        of proffer based upon reliable information offered by
18        the State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to
19        be represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to
20        have counsel appointed for him. Defendant shall have
21        the opportunity to testify, to present witnesses in
22        his own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any
23        are called by the State. The defendant has the right to
24        present witnesses in his favor. When the ends of
25        justice so require, the court may exercises its
26        discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining

 

 

SB3128- 51 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1        witness. The court shall state on the record reasons
2        for granting a defense request to compel the presence
3        of a complaining witness. Cross-examination of a
4        complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
5        for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility
6        is insufficient reason to compel the presence of the
7        witness. In deciding whether to compel the appearance
8        of a complaining witness, the court shall be
9        considerate of the emotional and physical well-being
10        of the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not
11        to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
12        arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State
13        shall tender to the defendant, prior to the hearing,
14        copies of defendant's criminal history, if any, if
15        available, and any written or recorded statements and
16        the substance of any oral statements made by any
17        person, if relied upon by the State in its petition.
18        The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
19        criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
20        consideration of information at the hearing. At the
21        trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was
22        conducted neither the finding of the court nor any

SB3128- 60 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1        (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and

6        (2) Only one petition may be filed under this Section.
7    (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
8for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
9proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
10        (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that

12    paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a), and
13        (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to
14    the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons,
15    by conduct which may include, but is not limited to, a
16    forcible felony, the obstruction of justice, intimidation,
17    injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) of Section
18    103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, and
19        (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
20    forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
21    can mitigate the real and present threat to the safety of
22    any person or persons or the defendant's willful flight.
23    (f) Conduct of the hearings.
24        (1) Prior to the hearing the State shall tender to the
25    defendant copies of defendant's criminal history
26    available, any written or recorded statements, and the

 

 

SB3128- 61 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1    substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
2    relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police

4    of the hearing that are required to be disclosed to the
5    defense under Illinois Supreme Court rules.
6        (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
7    hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
8        (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
9    counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel

11    opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
12    own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
13    called by the State.
14        (4) If the defense seeks to call the complaining
15    witness as a witness in its favor, it shall petition the
16    court for permission. When the ends of justice so require,
17    the court may exercise its discretion and compel the
18    appearance of a complaining witness. The court shall state
19    on the record reasons for granting a defense request to
20    compel the presence of a complaining witness. In making a
21    determination under this section, the court shall state on
22    the record the reason for granting a defense request to
23    compel the presence of a complaining witness, and only
24    grant the request if the court finds by clear and
25    convincing evidence that the defendant will be materially
26    prejudiced if the complaining witness does not appear.

 

 

SB3128- 62 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1    Cross-examination of a complaining witness at the pretrial
2    detention hearing for the purpose of impeaching the
3    witness' credibility is insufficient reason to compel the
4    presence of the witness. In deciding whether to compel the
5    appearance of a complaining witness, the court shall be
6    considerate of the emotional and physical well-being of
7    the witness. The pre-trial detention hearing is not to be
8    used for purposes of discovery, and the post arraignment
9    rules of discovery do not apply.
10        (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
11    in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
12    consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
13    concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
14    neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
15    other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
16    State's case in chief, but shall be admissible for
17    impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
18    Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
19        (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
20    a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
21    crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
22    seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
23    relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
24    the defendant.
25        (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of release
26    and detention prior trial should be individualized, and no

 

 

SB3128- 63 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1    single factor or standard should be used exclusively to
2    make a condition or detention decision.
3    (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
4dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
5defendant poses a specific, imminent threat of serious
6physical harm to an identifiable person or persons, consider
7but shall not be limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
8        (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
9    charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
10    violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
11        (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
12    including:
13            (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
14        history indicative of violent, abusive or assaultive
15        behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
16        include testimony or documents received in juvenile
17        proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
18        commitment, domestic relations or other proceedings.
19            (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
20        psychiatric or other similar social history which
21        tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
22        nature, or lack of any such history.
23        (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
24    safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
25    nature of the threat;
26        (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the

 

 

SB3128- 64 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1    defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
2    them;
3        (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant;
4        (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or
5    complaining witness;
6        (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
7    access to any weapon or weapons;
8        (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
9    other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
10    parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release or
11    other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
12    appeal or completion of sentence for an offense under
13    federal or state law;
14        (9) Any other factors, including those listed in
15    Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
16    reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
17    reputation for violent, abusive or assaultive behavior, or
18    lack of such behavior.
19    (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
20detention:
21        (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's
22    guilt or innocence, and the court's reasons for concluding
23    that the defendant should be denied pretrial release;
24        (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
25    custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
26    pending trial;

 

 

SB3128- 65 -LRB102 22405 RLC 31545 b

1        (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
2    opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
3    communication with others of his or her choice by
4    visitation, mail and telephone; and
5        (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
6    required for appearances in connection with court
7    proceedings.
8    (i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the
9detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this
10Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the
11offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date
12on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant
13is not brought to trial within the 90 day period required by
14the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial
15release. In computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit
16any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at
17the request of the defendant.
18    (j) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled
19to appeal any order entered under this Section denying
20pretrial release to the defendant.
21    (k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under
22this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial
23release.
24    (l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section
25shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the
26defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal

1proceedings.
