18    means you do not have to say anything. Anything you do say

20    help from a lawyer. If you cannot pay for a lawyer, the
21    court will get you one for free. You can ask for a lawyer

11must be preserved until such time as the minor's adjudication
12for any offense relating to the statement is final and all
13direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted, or the
14prosecution of such offenses is barred by law.
15    (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the
16evidence, that the minor was subjected to a custodial
17interrogation in violation of this Section, then any
18statements made by the minor during or following that
19non-recorded custodial interrogation, even if otherwise in
20compliance with this Section, are presumed to be inadmissible
21in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court proceeding
22against the minor except for the purposes of impeachment.
23    (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of
24a statement made by the minor in open court in any criminal
25proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, before a grand jury,
26or at a preliminary hearing, (ii) of a statement made during a

 

 

10200HB3958ham001- 5 -LRB102 17090 JWD 25704 a

1custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by

6that is not made in response to a question, (v) of a statement
7made after questioning that is routinely asked during the
8processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
9made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who
10requests, prior to making the statement, to respond to the
11interrogator's questions only if an electronic recording is
12not made of the statement, provided that an electronic
13recording is made of the statement of agreeing to respond to
14the interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made
15of the statement, (vii) of a statement made during a custodial
16interrogation that is conducted out-of-state, (viii) of a
17statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when
18the interrogators are unaware that a death has in fact
19occurred, (ix) (blank), or (x) of any other statement that may
20be admissible under law. The State shall bear the burden of
21proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that one of the
22exceptions described in this subsection (e) is applicable.
23Nothing in this Section precludes the admission of a
24statement, otherwise inadmissible under this Section, that is
25used only for impeachment and not as substantive evidence.
26    (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made

 

 

10200HB3958ham001- 6 -LRB102 17090 JWD 25704 a

2or other place of detention may be overcome by a preponderance
3of the evidence that the statement was voluntarily given and
4is reliable, based on the totality of the circumstances.
5    (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a
6minor during a custodial interrogation that is compiled by any
7law enforcement agency as required by this Section for the

16assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not
17court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the
18minor on the issue of guilt only in the instant juvenile court
19proceeding. The provisions of this subsection (h) are in
20addition to and do not override any existing statutory and
21constitutional prohibition on the admission into evidence in
22delinquency proceedings of information obtained during
23screening, assessment, or treatment.
24    (i) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61
