4

filing of the previous petition.
5

(e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
6
for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
7
proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
8

(1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
9

the defendant has committed an offense listed in
10

subsection (a), and
11

(2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
12

of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present
13

threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
14

community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
15

case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
16

a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
17

intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
18

of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
19

1986, and
20

(3) no condition or combination of conditions set
21

forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
22

can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
23

of any person or persons or the community, based on the
24

specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
25

listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or
26

(ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in

HB4933
- 10 -
LRB104 16255 RLC 29639 b
1

paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
2

(4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
3

of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject
4

to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
5

combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
6

Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
7

present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
8

the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
9

the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
10

appear in court as required.
11

(f) Conduct of the hearings.
12

(1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to
13

the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
14

available, any written or recorded statements, and the
15

substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
16

relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
17

reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
18

hearing.
19

(2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
20

hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
21

(3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
22

counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
23

appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
24

opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
25

own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
26

called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given

HB4933
- 11 -
LRB104 16255 RLC 29639 b
1

adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
2

any hearing at which conditions of release or the
3

detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an
4

accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
5

attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
6

confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
7

conducted via a 2-way audio-visual communication system,
8

such consultation shall not be recorded and shall be
9

undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
10

(3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
11

denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of 2-way
12

audio visual communication) unless the accused waives the
13

right to be present physically in court, the court
14

determines that the physical health and safety of any
15

person necessary to the proceedings would be endangered by
16

appearing in court, or the chief judge of the circuit
17

orders use of that system due to operational challenges in
18

conducting the hearing in person. Such operational
19

challenges must be documented and approved by the chief
20

judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the challenges
21

through reasonable efforts must be presented and approved
22

by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts every
23

6 months.
24

(4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
25

witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall
26

petition the court for permission. When the ends of

HB4933
- 12 -
LRB104 16255 RLC 29639 b
1

justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
2

and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
3

court shall state on the record reasons for granting a
4

defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
5

witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
6

detention. In making a determination under this Section,
7

the court shall state on the record the reason for
8

granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
9

complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
10

court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
11

defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
12

witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
13

complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
14

the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
15

insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
16

In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
17

complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
18

emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
19

pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
20

of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
21

do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
22

prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
23

criminal history, if available, and any written or
24

recorded statements and the substance of any oral
25

statements made by any person, if in the State's
26

Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.

HB4933
- 13 -
LRB104 16255 RLC 29639 b
1

(5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
2

in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
3

consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
4

concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
5

neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
6

other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
7

State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
8

impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
9

Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
10

(6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
11

a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
12

crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
13

seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
14

relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
15

the defendant.
16

(7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
17

release, and detention prior to trial must be
18

individualized, and no single factor or standard may be
19

used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
20

may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
21

(g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
22
dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
23
defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
24
person or persons or the community, based on the specific
25
articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be
26
limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:

HB4933
- 14 -
LRB104 16255 RLC 29639 b
1

(1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
2

charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
3

violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
4

(2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
5

including:
6

(A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
7

history indicative of violent, abusive, or assaultive
8

behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
9

include testimony or documents received in juvenile
10

proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
11

commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.
12

(B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
13

psychiatric or other similar social history which
14

tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
15

nature, or lack of any such history.
16

(3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
17

safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
18

nature of the threat.
19

(4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
20

defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
21

them.
22

(5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
23

prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;

9

Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph
