IL SB3625

Renders unreliable statements made during custodial interrogation at police stations or places of detention inadmissible in criminal and juvenile court proceedings.

Requires prosecution to disclose at least 30 days before trial its intent to introduce custodial interrogation statements, along with electronic recordings and documents detailing the circumstances under which statements were obtained.

Permits defendants to move pre-trial to exclude statements claimed to be unreliable, requiring a separate hearing if defendant presents prima facie case of unreliability.

Establishes that defendant bears burden of producing evidence of unreliability, after which prosecution must prove by preponderance of evidence that statement is reliable, considering: (1) statement details fitting known evidence, especially non-public unusual facts; (2) new corroborable details; (3) whether crime facts were disclosed to rather than elicited from defendant; and (4) evidence of coercion.

Vests sole authority over statement admissibility with the trial court, and applies identically to both the Juvenile Court Act and Code of Criminal Procedure.
