AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 263 of the General Laws to require the electronic recording of all custodial interrogations related to a crime. It establishes a presumption of inadmissibility for any statements made during a custodial interrogation that is not electronically recorded, with some exceptions. The bill outlines the process for overcoming this presumption and the circumstances under which unrecorded statements may still be admitted as evidence. It also provides requirements for the handling and preservation of electronic recordings of custodial interrogations.
