Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of  1963  and  the  Unified      
   Code  of  Corrections.  Provides that if it is determined by the court      
   during the trial of a capital case, or during  sentencing  in  such  a      
   case,  or  as  a  result of a post-trial motion in such a case, that a      
   peace officer committed perjury during the trial or sentencing and the      
   perjury is sufficiently material to  affect  the  reliability  of  the      
   verdict,  the  court  shall grant the defendant a new trial. Effective      
   immediately.
