The defendant shall have the4 opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her5 own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are6 called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given7 adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before8 any hearing at which conditions of release or the9 detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an10 accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate11 attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to12 confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing13 conducted via a 2-way audio-visual communication system,14 such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be15 undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.16 (3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be17 denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of 2-way18 audio visual communication) unless the accused waives the19 right to be present physically in court, the court20 determines that the physical health and safety of any21 person necessary to the proceedings would be endangered by22 appearing in court, or the chief judge of the circuit23 orders use of that system due to operational challenges in24 conducting the hearing in person. Such operational25 challenges must be documented and approved by the chief26 judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the challengesSB3091 - 14 - LRB104 18936 RLC 32381 b1 through reasonable efforts must be presented and approved2 by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts every3 6 months.4 (4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining5 witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall6 petition the court for permission. When the ends of7 justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion8 and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The9 court shall state on the record reasons for granting a10 defense request to compel the presence of a complaining11 witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial12 detention. In making a determination under this Section,13 the court shall state on the record the reason for14 granting a defense request to compel the presence of a15 complaining witness, and only grant the request if the16 court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the17 defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining18 witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a19 complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for20 the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is21 insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.22 In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a23 complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the24 emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The25 pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes26 of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discoverySB3091 - 15 - LRB104 18936 RLC 32381 b1 do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,2 prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's3 criminal history, if available, and any written or4 recorded statements and the substance of any oral5 statements made by any person, if in the State's6 Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.7 (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence8 in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and9 consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial10 concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted11 neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or12 other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the13 State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for14 impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this15 Code, or in a perjury proceeding.16 (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or17 a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged18 crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or19 seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is20 relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against21 the defendant.22 (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of23 release, and detention prior to trial must be24 individualized, and no single factor or standard may be25 used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools26 may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.SB3091 - 16 - LRB104 18936 RLC 32381 b1 (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of2dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the3defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any4person or persons or the community, based on the specific5articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be6limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:7 (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense8 charged, including whether the offense is a crime of9 violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.10 (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant11 including:12 (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal13 history indicative of violent, abusive, or assaultive14 behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may15 include testimony or documents received in juvenile16 proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil17 commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.18 (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,19 psychiatric or other similar social history which20 tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive21 nature, or lack of any such history.22 (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose23 safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the24 nature of the threat.25 (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the26 defendant, together with the circumstances surroundingSB3091 - 17 - LRB104 18936 RLC 32381 b1 them.2 (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.3 (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or4 complaining witness.5 (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have6 access to any weapon or weapons.7 (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any8 other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,9 parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release,10 or other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,11 appeal, or completion of sentence for an offense under12 federal or State law.13 (9) Any other factors, including those listed in14 Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a15 reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or16 reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior,17 or lack of such behavior.18 (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for19detention:20 (1) make a written finding summarizing the court's21 reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied22 pretrial release, including why less restrictive23 conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to24 the safety of any person or persons or the community,25 based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or26 prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;SB3091 - 18 - LRB104 18936 RLC 32381 b1 (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the2 custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail3 pending trial;4 (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable5 opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for6 communication with others of his or her choice by7 visitation, mail and telephone; and8 (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as9 required for appearances in connection with court10 proceedings.11 (i) Detention.
