| | A BILL FOR |
|
| | | HB4808 | | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning criminal law.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | 5 | | amended by changing Sections 110-6.1 and 114-7 and by adding | 6 | | Section 111-2.5 as follows:
| 7 | | (725 ILCS 5/110-6.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6.1)
| 8 | | (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 101-652 )
| 9 | | Sec. 110-6.1. Denial of bail in non-probationable felony | 10 | | offenses.
| 11 | | (a) Upon verified petition by the State, the court shall | 12 | | hold a hearing to
determine whether bail should be denied to a | 13 | | defendant who is charged with
a felony offense for which a | 14 | | sentence of imprisonment, without probation,
periodic | 15 | | imprisonment or conditional discharge, is required by law upon
| 16 | | conviction, when it is alleged that the defendant's admission | 17 | | to bail poses
a real and present threat to the physical safety | 18 | | of any person or persons.
| 19 | | (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to | 20 | | the defendant at the
first appearance before a judge, or | 21 | | within the 21 calendar days, except as
provided in Section | 22 | | 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
| 23 | | reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such |
| | | HB4808 | - 2 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | petition is
pending before the court, the defendant if | 2 | | previously released shall not be
detained.
| 3 | | (2) The hearing shall be held immediately upon the | 4 | | defendant's appearance
before the court, unless for good | 5 | | cause shown the defendant or the State
seeks a | 6 | | continuance. A continuance on motion of the
defendant may | 7 | | not exceed 5 calendar days, and a continuance on the | 8 | | motion
of the State may not exceed 3 calendar days. The | 9 | | defendant may be held in
custody during such continuance.
| 10 | | (b) The court may deny bail to the defendant where, after | 11 | | the hearing, it
is determined that:
| 12 | | (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | 13 | | the defendant has
committed an offense for which a | 14 | | sentence of imprisonment, without
probation, periodic | 15 | | imprisonment or conditional discharge, must be imposed
by | 16 | | law as a consequence of conviction, and
| 17 | | (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to | 18 | | the physical safety
of any person or persons, by conduct | 19 | | which may include, but is not limited
to, a forcible | 20 | | felony, the obstruction of justice,
intimidation, injury, | 21 | | physical harm, an offense under the Illinois
Controlled | 22 | | Substances Act which is a Class X felony, or an offense | 23 | | under the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection | 24 | | Act which is a Class X felony, and
| 25 | | (3) the court finds that no condition or combination | 26 | | of conditions set
forth in subsection (b) of Section |
| | | HB4808 | - 3 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | 110-10 of this Article,
can reasonably assure the physical | 2 | | safety of any other person or persons.
| 3 | | (c) Conduct of the hearings.
| 4 | | (1) The hearing on the defendant's culpability and | 5 | | dangerousness shall be
conducted in accordance with the | 6 | | following provisions:
| 7 | | (A) Information used by the court in its findings | 8 | | or stated in or
offered at such hearing may be by way | 9 | | of proffer based upon reliable
information offered by | 10 | | the State or by defendant. Defendant has the right to
| 11 | | be represented by counsel, and if he is indigent, to | 12 | | have counsel appointed
for him. Defendant shall have | 13 | | the opportunity to testify, to present
witnesses in | 14 | | his own behalf, and to cross-examine witnesses if any | 15 | | are
called by the State. The defendant has the right to | 16 | | present witnesses in
his favor. When the ends of | 17 | | justice so require, the court may exercises
its | 18 | | discretion and compel the appearance of a complaining
| 19 | | witness. The court shall state on the record reasons | 20 | | for granting a
defense request to compel the presence | 21 | | of a complaining witness.
Cross-examination of a | 22 | | complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing
| 23 | | for the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility | 24 | | is insufficient reason
to compel the presence of the | 25 | | witness. In deciding whether to compel the
appearance | 26 | | of a complaining witness, the court shall be |
| | | HB4808 | - 4 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | considerate of the
emotional and physical well-being | 2 | | of the witness. The pre-trial detention
hearing is not | 3 | | to be used for purposes of discovery, and the post
| 4 | | arraignment rules of discovery do not apply. The State | 5 | | shall tender to the
defendant, prior to the hearing, | 6 | | copies of defendant's criminal history, if
any, if | 7 | | available, and any written or recorded statements and | 8 | | the substance
of any oral statements made by any | 9 | | person, if relied upon by the State in
its petition. | 10 | | The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence in
| 11 | | criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | 12 | | consideration of
information at the hearing. At the | 13 | | trial concerning the offense for which
the hearing was | 14 | | conducted neither the finding of the court nor any
| 15 | | transcript or other record of the hearing shall be | 16 | | admissible in the
State's case in chief, but shall be | 17 | | admissible for impeachment, or as
provided in Section | 18 | | 115-10.1 of this Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
| 19 | | (B) A motion by the defendant to suppress evidence | 20 | | or to suppress a
confession shall not be entertained. | 21 | | Evidence that proof may have been
obtained as the | 22 | | result of an unlawful search and seizure or through
| 23 | | improper interrogation is not relevant to this state | 24 | | of the prosecution.
| 25 | | (2) The facts relied upon by the court to support a | 26 | | finding that the
defendant poses a real and present threat |
| | | HB4808 | - 5 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | to the physical safety of any
person or persons shall be | 2 | | supported by clear and convincing evidence
presented by | 3 | | the State.
| 4 | | (d) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | 5 | | dangerousness.
The court may, in determining whether the | 6 | | defendant poses a real and
present threat to the physical | 7 | | safety of any person or persons, consider but
shall not be | 8 | | limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
| 9 | | (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense | 10 | | charged, including
whether the offense is a crime of | 11 | | violence, involving a weapon.
| 12 | | (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | 13 | | including:
| 14 | | (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal | 15 | | history indicative of
violent, abusive or assaultive | 16 | | behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such
evidence may | 17 | | include testimony or documents received in juvenile
| 18 | | proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil | 19 | | commitment, domestic relations
or other proceedings.
| 20 | | (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological, | 21 | | psychiatric or other
similar social history which | 22 | | tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or
assaultive | 23 | | nature, or lack of any such history.
| 24 | | (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose | 25 | | safety the defendant
is believed to pose a threat, and the | 26 | | nature of the threat;
|
| | | HB4808 | - 6 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the | 2 | | defendant, together with
the circumstances surrounding | 3 | | them;
| 4 | | (5) The age and physical condition of any person | 5 | | assaulted
by the defendant;
| 6 | | (6) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have | 7 | | access to any
weapon or weapons;
| 8 | | (7) 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 | | (8) 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 | | (e) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for | 20 | | detention:
| 21 | | (1) briefly summarize the evidence of the defendant's | 22 | | culpability and its
reasons for concluding that the | 23 | | defendant should be held without bail;
| 24 | | (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the | 25 | | custody of the sheriff
for confinement in the county jail | 26 | | pending trial;
|
| | | HB4808 | - 7 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 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
choice by visitation, | 4 | | 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 | | (f) If the court enters an order for the detention of the | 9 | | defendant
pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, the | 10 | | defendant
shall be brought to trial on the offense for which he | 11 | | is
detained within 90 days after the date on which the order | 12 | | for detention was
entered. If the defendant is not brought to | 13 | | trial within the 90 day period
required by the preceding | 14 | | sentence, he shall not be held longer without
bail. In | 15 | | computing the 90 day period, the court shall omit any period of
| 16 | | delay resulting from a continuance granted at the request of | 17 | | the defendant.
| 18 | | (g) Rights of the defendant. Any person shall be entitled | 19 | | to appeal any
order entered under this Section denying bail to | 20 | | the defendant.
| 21 | | (h) The State may appeal any order entered under this | 22 | | Section denying any
motion for denial of bail.
| 23 | | (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed as | 24 | | modifying or limiting
in any way the defendant's presumption | 25 | | of innocence in further criminal
proceedings.

| | | HB4808 | - 13 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | (2) Only one petition may be filed under this Section. | 2 | | (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible | 3 | | for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of | 4 | | proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
| 5 | | (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that | 6 | | the defendant has
committed an offense listed in | 7 | | paragraphs (1) through (6) of subsection (a), and
| 8 | | (2) the defendant poses a real and present threat to | 9 | | the safety
of a specific, identifiable person or persons, | 10 | | by conduct which may include, but is not limited
to, a | 11 | | forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
intimidation, | 12 | | injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1) of Section | 13 | | 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, and
| 14 | | (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
| 15 | | forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article | 16 | | can mitigate the real and present threat to the safety of | 17 | | any person or persons or the defendant's willful flight.
| 18 | | (f) Conduct of the hearings.
| 19 | | (1) Prior
to the hearing the State shall tender to the | 20 | | defendant copies of
defendant's criminal history | 21 | | available, any written or
recorded statements, and the | 22 | | substance of any oral statements made by
any person, if | 23 | | relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
| 24 | | reports in the State's Attorney's possession at the time | 25 | | of the hearing
that are required to be disclosed to the | 26 | | defense under Illinois Supreme
Court rules.
|
| | | HB4808 | - 14 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the | 2 | | hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable
information. | 3 | | (3) The defendant has the right to
be represented by | 4 | | counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel | 5 | | appointed
for him or her. The defendant shall have the | 6 | | opportunity to testify, to present
witnesses on his or her | 7 | | own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
| 8 | | called by the State. | 9 | | (4) If the defense seeks to call the complaining | 10 | | witness as a witness in its favor, it shall petition the | 11 | | court for permission. When the ends of justice so require, | 12 | | the court may exercise
its discretion and compel the | 13 | | appearance of a complaining
witness. The court shall state | 14 | | on the record reasons for granting a
defense request to | 15 | | compel the presence of a complaining witness. In making a | 16 | | determination under this section, the court shall state on | 17 | | the record the reason for granting a defense request to | 18 | | compel the presence of a complaining witness, and only | 19 | | grant the request if the court finds by clear and | 20 | | convincing evidence that the defendant will be materially | 21 | | prejudiced if the complaining witness does not appear.
| 22 | | Cross-examination of a complaining witness at the pretrial | 23 | | detention hearing
for the purpose of impeaching the | 24 | | witness' credibility is insufficient reason
to compel the | 25 | | presence of the witness. In deciding whether to compel the
| 26 | | appearance of a complaining witness, the court shall be |
| | | HB4808 | - 15 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | considerate of the
emotional and physical well-being of | 2 | | the witness. The pre-trial detention
hearing is not to be | 3 | | used for purposes of discovery, and the post
arraignment | 4 | | rules of discovery do not apply. | 5 | | (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence | 6 | | in
criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and | 7 | | consideration of
information at the hearing. At the trial | 8 | | concerning the offense for which
the hearing was conducted | 9 | | neither the finding of the court nor any
transcript or | 10 | | other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
| 11 | | State's case in chief, but shall be admissible for | 12 | | impeachment, or as
provided in Section 115-10.1 of this | 13 | | Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
| 14 | | (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or | 15 | | a
confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged | 16 | | crime may have been
the result of an unlawful search or | 17 | | seizure, or both, or through
improper interrogation, is | 18 | | relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against | 19 | | the defendant. | 20 | | (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of release | 21 | | and detention prior trial should be individualized, and no | 22 | | single factor or standard should be used exclusively to | 23 | | make a condition or detention decision.
| 24 | | (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of | 25 | | dangerousness.
The court may, in determining whether the | 26 | | defendant poses a specific, imminent threat of serious |
| | | HB4808 | - 16 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | physical harm to an identifiable person or persons, consider | 2 | | but
shall not be limited to evidence or testimony concerning:
| 3 | | (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense | 4 | | charged, including
whether the offense is a crime of | 5 | | violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
| 6 | | (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant | 7 | | including:

| 1 | | Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by | 2 | | changing Section 5-4.5-95 as follows: | 3 | | (730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-95) | 4 | | Sec. 5-4.5-95. GENERAL RECIDIVISM PROVISIONS. | 5 | | (a) HABITUAL CRIMINALS. | 6 | | (1) Every person who has been twice convicted in any | 7 | | state or federal court of an offense that contains the | 8 | | same elements as an offense now (the date of the offense | 9 | | committed after the 2 prior convictions) classified in | 10 | | Illinois as a Class X felony, criminal sexual assault, | 11 | | aggravated kidnapping, or first degree murder, and who is | 12 | | thereafter convicted of a Class X felony, criminal sexual | 13 | | assault, or first degree murder, committed after the 2 | 14 | | prior convictions, shall be adjudged an habitual criminal. | 15 | | (2) The 2 prior convictions need not have been for the | 16 | | same offense. | 17 | | (3) Any convictions that result from or are connected | 18 | | with the same transaction, or result from offenses | 19 | | committed at the same time, shall be counted for the | 20 | | purposes of this Section as one conviction. | 21 | | (4) This Section does not apply unless each of the | 22 | | following requirements are satisfied: | 23 | | (A) The third offense was committed after July 3, | 24 | | 1980. |
| | | HB4808 | - 22 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | (B) The third offense was committed within 20 | 2 | | years of the date that judgment was entered on the | 3 | | first conviction; provided, however, that time spent | 4 | | in custody shall not be counted. | 5 | | (C) The third offense was committed after | 6 | | conviction on the second offense. | 7 | | (D) The second offense was committed after | 8 | | conviction on the first offense. | 9 | | (E) The first offense was committed when the | 10 | | person was 21 years of age or older. | 11 | | (5) Anyone who is adjudged an habitual criminal shall | 12 | | be sentenced to a term of natural life imprisonment. | 13 | | (6) A prior conviction shall not be alleged in the | 14 | | indictment, and no evidence or other disclosure of that | 15 | | conviction shall be presented to the court or the jury | 16 | | during the trial of an offense set forth in this Section | 17 | | unless otherwise permitted by the issues properly raised | 18 | | in that trial. After a plea or verdict or finding of guilty | 19 | | and before sentence is imposed, the prosecutor may file | 20 | | with the court a verified written statement signed by the | 21 | | State's Attorney concerning any former conviction of an | 22 | | offense set forth in this Section rendered against the | 23 | | defendant. The court shall then cause the defendant to be | 24 | | brought before it; shall inform the defendant of the | 25 | | allegations of the statement so filed, and of his or her | 26 | | right to a hearing before the court on the issue of that |
| | | HB4808 | - 23 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | former conviction and of his or her right to counsel at | 2 | | that hearing; and unless the defendant admits such | 3 | | conviction, shall hear and determine the issue, and shall | 4 | | make a written finding thereon. If a sentence has | 5 | | previously been imposed, the court may vacate that | 6 | | sentence and impose a new sentence in accordance with this | 7 | | Section. | 8 | | (7) A duly authenticated copy of the record of any | 9 | | alleged former conviction of an offense set forth in this | 10 | | Section shall be prima facie evidence of that former | 11 | | conviction; and a duly authenticated copy of the record of | 12 | | the defendant's final release or discharge from probation | 13 | | granted, or from sentence and parole supervision (if any) | 14 | | imposed pursuant to that former conviction, shall be prima | 15 | | facie evidence of that release or discharge. | 16 | | (8) Any claim that a previous conviction offered by | 17 | | the prosecution is not a former conviction of an offense | 18 | | set forth in this Section because of the existence of any | 19 | | exceptions described in this Section, is waived unless | 20 | | duly raised at the hearing on that conviction, or unless | 21 | | the prosecution's proof shows the existence of the | 22 | | exceptions described in this Section. | 23 | | (9) If the person so convicted shows to the | 24 | | satisfaction of the court before whom that conviction was | 25 | | had that he or she was released from imprisonment, upon | 26 | | either of the sentences upon a pardon granted for the |
| | | HB4808 | - 24 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
|
| 1 | | reason that he or she was innocent, that conviction and | 2 | | sentence shall not be considered under this Section.
| 3 | | | 4 | | (b) When a defendant, over the age of 21 years, is | 5 | | convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 forcible felony after having | 6 | | twice been convicted in any state or federal court of an | 7 | | offense that contains the same elements as an offense now (the | 8 | | date the Class 1 or Class 2 forcible felony was committed) | 9 | | classified in Illinois as a Class 2 or greater Class forcible | 10 | | felony and those charges are separately brought and tried and | 11 | | arise out of different series of acts, that defendant shall be | 12 | | sentenced as a Class X offender. This subsection does not | 13 | | apply unless: | 14 | | (1) the first forcible felony was committed after | 15 | | February 1, 1978 (the effective date of Public Act | 16 | | 80-1099); | 17 | | (2) the second forcible felony was committed after | 18 | | conviction on the first; | 19 | | (3) the third forcible felony was committed after | 20 | | conviction on the second; and | 21 | | (4) the first offense was committed when the person | 22 | | was 21 years of age or older. | 23 | | (c) (Blank). | 24 | | A person sentenced as a Class X offender under this | 25 | | subsection (b) is not eligible to apply for treatment as a | 26 | | condition of probation as provided by Section 40-10 of the |
| | | HB4808 | - 25 - | LRB102 25013 RLC 34270 b |
