Bill Summary
Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that an oral, written, or sign language statement of a minor, who at the time of the commission of the offense was under 18 years of age, made as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a police station or other place of detention on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act shall be presumed to be inadmissible as evidence in a criminal proceeding or a juvenile court proceeding for an act that if committed by an adult would be a misdemeanor offense under the Sex Offenses Article of the Criminal Code of 2012 or a felony offense under the Criminal Code of 2012 if, during the custodial interrogation, a law enforcement officer, juvenile officer, or other public official or employee, knowingly engages in deception.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to establish a presumption that oral, written, or sign language confessions made by minors under 18 during custodial interrogations at police stations or other places of detention are inadmissible as evidence in criminal or juvenile court proceedings if the law enforcement officer or juvenile officer knowingly engaged in deception during the interrogation. The bill defines "custodial interrogation," "deception," and "place of detention," and provides that the presumption of inadmissibility can be overcome if the state proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the confession was voluntarily given based on the totality of the circumstances.
