IL SB2122

Creates presumption that confessions obtained from minors under 18 through deceptive tactics during custodial interrogation are inadmissible in criminal and juvenile court proceedings.

Defines "deception" as knowing communication of false facts about evidence or unauthorized statements regarding leniency by law enforcement or juvenile officers during custodial interrogation.

Allows the presumption of inadmissibility to be overcome by preponderance of the evidence showing the confession was voluntarily given based on totality of circumstances.

Places burden on the State to prove the confession was voluntary and requires objections to the State's failure to call material witnesses on this issue to be made in trial court.

Applies to confessions made on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly in police stations or other places of detention.
