|
(d) Separate sentencing hearing.
Where requested by the State, the court shall conduct a separate
sentencing proceeding to determine the existence of factors set forth in

indicated in subsection (c). The proceeding shall be conducted:
(1) before the jury that determined the defendant's
|
|
(2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose of the
|
|
A. the defendant was convicted upon a plea of
|
|
B. the defendant was convicted after a trial
|
|
before the court sitting without a jury; or
|
|
C. the court for good cause shown discharges the
|
|
jury that determined the defendant's guilt; or
|
|
(3) before the court alone if the defendant waives a
|
|
jury for the separate proceeding.
|
|
(e) Evidence and Argument.
During the proceeding any information relevant to any of the factors
set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by either the State or the
defendant under the rules governing the admission of evidence at
criminal trials. Any information relevant to any additional aggravating
factors or any mitigating factors indicated in subsection (c) may be
presented by the State or defendant regardless of its admissibility
under the rules governing the admission of evidence at criminal trials.
The State and the defendant shall be given fair opportunity to rebut any
information received at the hearing.
(f) Proof.
The burden of proof of establishing the existence of any of the
factors set forth in subsection (b) is on the State and shall not be
satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable doubt.
(g) Procedure ‑ Jury.
If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds that none of
the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists, the court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist, the jury
shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as instructed by the
court and shall determine whether the sentence of death shall be
imposed. If the jury determines unanimously, after weighing the factors in
aggravation and mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to death.
If the court does not concur with the jury determination that death is the
appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in writing
including what facts or circumstances the court relied upon,
along with any relevant
documents, that compelled the court to non‑concur with the sentence. This
document and any attachments shall be part of the record for appellate
review. The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing determination.
If after weighing the factors in aggravation and mitigation, one or more
jurors determines that death is not the appropriate sentence,
the
court shall sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
(h) Procedure ‑ No Jury.
In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds that none
of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified
Code of Corrections.
If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set forth in
subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any aggravating and
mitigating factors as indicated in subsection (c). If the Court
determines, after weighing the factors in aggravation and mitigation, that
death is the appropriate sentence, the Court shall sentence the
defendant to death.
If
the court finds that death is not the
appropriate sentence, the
court shall sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
(h‑5) Decertification as a capital case.
In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of first degree murder
by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for resentencing, and the State seeks
the death penalty as an appropriate
sentence,
on the court's own motion or the written motion of the defendant, the court
may decertify the case as a death penalty case if the court finds that the only
evidence supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated testimony
of an informant witness, as defined in Section 115‑21 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure of 1963, concerning the confession or admission of the defendant or
that the sole evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
accomplice without any other corroborating evidence.
If the court decertifies the case as a capital case
under either of the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a
written finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the decertification
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If the court does not
decertify the case as a capital case, the matter shall proceed to the
eligibility phase of the sentencing hearing.
(i) Appellate Procedure.
The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to automatic
review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in accordance with
rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.
The Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and order the
imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
Corrections if the court finds that the death sentence is fundamentally
unjust as applied to the particular case.
If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the
death sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular case,
independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the Illinois Supreme Court
shall issue a written opinion explaining this finding.
(j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to be
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or of the
State of Illinois, any person convicted of first degree murder shall be
sentenced by the court to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of Corrections.
In the event that any death sentence pursuant to the sentencing
provisions of this Section is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States or of the State of Illinois, the court having
jurisdiction over a person previously sentenced to death shall cause the
defendant to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of Corrections.
(k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
The Attorney General and
State's Attorneys Association shall consult on voluntary guidelines for
procedures governing whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines
do not
have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.

Sec. 10‑5.
Child Abduction.
(a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
(1) "Child" means a person under the age of 18 or a |
|
severely or profoundly mentally retarded person at the time the alleged violation occurred; and
|
|
(2) "Detains" means taking or retaining physical
|
|
custody of a child, whether or not the child resists or objects; and
|
|
(3) "Lawful custodian" means a person or persons
|
|
granted legal custody of a child or entitled to physical possession of a child pursuant to a court order. It is presumed that, when the parties have never been married to each other, the mother has legal custody of the child unless a valid court order states otherwise. If an adjudication of paternity has been completed and the father has been assigned support obligations or visitation rights, such a paternity order should, for the purposes of this Section be considered a valid court order granting custody to the mother.
|
|
(b) A person commits child abduction when he or she:
(1) Intentionally violates any terms of a valid
|
|
court order granting sole or joint custody, care or possession to another, by concealing or detaining the child or removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court; or
|
|
(2) Intentionally violates a court order prohibiting
|
|
the person from concealing or detaining the child or removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court; or
|
|
(3) Intentionally conceals, detains or removes the
|
|
child without the consent of the mother or lawful custodian of the child if the person is a putative father and either: (A) the paternity of the child has not been legally established or (B) the paternity of the child has been legally established but no orders relating to custody have been entered. However, notwithstanding the presumption created by paragraph (3) of subsection (a), a mother commits child abduction when she intentionally conceals or removes a child, whom she has abandoned or relinquished custody of, from an unadjudicated father who has provided sole ongoing care and custody of the child in her absence; or
|
|
(4) Intentionally conceals or removes the child from
|
|
a parent after filing a petition or being served with process in an action affecting marriage or paternity but prior to the issuance of a temporary or final order determining custody; or
|
|
(5) At the expiration of visitation rights outside
|
|
the State, intentionally fails or refuses to return or impedes the return of the child to the lawful custodian in Illinois; or
|
|
(6) Being a parent of the child, and where the
|
|
parents of such child are or have been married and there has been no court order of custody, conceals the child for 15 days, and fails to make reasonable attempts within the 15 day period to notify the other parent as to the specific whereabouts of the child, including a means by which to contact such child, or to arrange reasonable visitation or contact with the child. It is not a violation of this Section for a person fleeing domestic violence to take the child with him or her to housing provided by a domestic violence program; or
|
|
(7) Being a parent of the child, and where the
|
|
parents of the child are or have been married and there has been no court order of custody, conceals, detains, or removes the child with physical force or threat of physical force; or
|
|
(8) Conceals, detains, or removes the child for
|
|
payment or promise of payment at the instruction of a person who has no legal right to custody; or
|
|
(9) Retains in this State for 30 days a child
|
|
removed from another state without the consent of the lawful custodian or in violation of a valid court order of custody; or
|
|
(10) Intentionally lures or attempts to lure a child
|
|
under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer, or dwelling place without the consent of the parent or lawful custodian of the child for other than a lawful purpose.
|
|
For the purposes of this subsection (b), paragraph (10), the luring
or attempted luring of a child under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle,
building, housetrailer, or dwelling place without the consent of the parent
or lawful custodian of the child shall be prima facie evidence of other
than a lawful purpose.
(c) It shall be an affirmative defense that:
(1) The person had custody of the child pursuant to
|
|
a court order granting legal custody or visitation rights which existed at the time of the alleged violation; or
|
|
(2) The person had physical custody of the child
|
|
pursuant to a court order granting legal custody or visitation rights and failed to return the child as a result of circumstances beyond his or her control, and the person notified and disclosed to the other parent or legal custodian the specific whereabouts of the child and a means by which such child can be contacted or made a reasonable attempt to notify the other parent or lawful custodian of the child of such circumstances and make such disclosure within 24 hours after the visitation period had expired and returned the child as soon as possible; or
|
|
(3) The person was fleeing an incidence or pattern
|
|
(4) The person lured or attempted to lure a child
|
|
under the age of 16 into a motor vehicle, building, housetrailer, or dwelling place for a lawful purpose in prosecutions under subsection (b), paragraph (10).
|
|
(d) A person convicted of child abduction under this Section is guilty of
a Class 4 felony. A person convicted of a second or subsequent violation of
paragraph (10) of subsection (b) of this Section is guilty of a Class 3
felony. It shall be a factor in aggravation for which a court
may impose a more severe sentence under Section 5‑8‑1 of the Unified Code
of Corrections, if upon sentencing the court finds evidence of any of the
following aggravating factors:
(1) that the defendant abused or neglected the child
|
|
following the concealment, detention or removal of the child; or
|
|
(2) that the defendant inflicted or threatened to
|
|
inflict physical harm on a parent or lawful custodian of the child or on the child with intent to cause such parent or lawful custodian to discontinue criminal prosecution of the defendant under this Section; or
|
|
(3) that the defendant demanded payment in exchange
|
|
for return of the child or demanded that he or she be relieved of the financial or legal obligation to support the child in exchange for return of the child; or
|
|
(4) that the defendant has previously been convicted
|
|
(5) that the defendant committed the abduction while
|
|
armed with a deadly weapon or the taking of the child resulted in serious bodily injury to another; or
|
|
(6) that the defendant committed the abduction while
|
|
in a school, regardless of the time of day or time of year; in a playground; on any conveyance owned, leased, or contracted by a school to transport students to or from school or a school related activity; on the real property of a school; or on a public way within 1,000 feet of the real property comprising any school or playground. For purposes of this paragraph (6), "playground" means a piece of land owned or controlled by a unit of local government that is designated by the unit of local government for use solely or primarily for children's recreation; and "school" means a public or private elementary or secondary school, community college, college, or university.
|
|
(e) The court may order the child to be returned to the parent or lawful
custodian from whom the child was concealed, detained or removed. In
addition to any sentence imposed, the court may assess any reasonable
expense incurred in searching for or returning the child against any
person convicted of violating this Section.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit the
court's contempt power.
(g) Every law enforcement officer investigating an alleged incident of
child abduction shall make a written police report of any bona fide
allegation and the disposition of such investigation. Every police report
completed pursuant to this Section shall be compiled and recorded within
the meaning of Section 5.1 of "An Act in relation to criminal
identification and investigation", approved July 2, 1931, as now or hereafter
amended.
(h) Whenever a law enforcement officer has reasons to believe a child
abduction has occurred, he shall provide the lawful custodian a summary of
her or his rights under this Act, including the procedures and relief
available to her or him.
(i) If during the course of an investigation under this
Section the child is found in the physical custody of the defendant or
another, the law enforcement officer shall return the child to the parent
or lawful custodian from whom the child was concealed, detained or removed,
unless there is good cause for the law enforcement officer or the
Department of Children and Family Services to retain temporary protective
custody of the child pursuant to the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting
Act, as now or hereafter amended.

(1) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(i) Section 50‑5 of Public Act 88‑680, effective
|
|
January 1, 1995, contained provisions amending the child pornography statute, Section 11‑20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961. Section 50‑5 also contained other provisions.
|
|
(ii) In addition, Public Act 88‑680 was entitled
|
|
"AN ACT to create a Safe Neighborhoods Law". (A) Article 5 was entitled JUVENILE JUSTICE and amended the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (B) Article 15 was entitled GANGS and amended various provisions of the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Unified Code of Corrections. (C) Article 20 was entitled ALCOHOL ABUSE and amended various provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code. (D) Article 25 was entitled DRUG ABUSE and amended the Cannabis Control Act and the Illinois Controlled Substances Act. (E) Article 30 was entitled FIREARMS and amended the Criminal Code of 1961 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. (F) Article 35 amended the Criminal Code of 1961, the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections. (G) Article 40 amended the Criminal Code of 1961 to increase the penalty for compelling organization membership of persons. (H) Article 45 created the Secure Residential Youth Care Facility Licensing Act and amended the State Finance Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Unified Code of Corrections, and the Private Correctional Facility Moratorium Act. (I) Article 50 amended the WIC Vendor Management Act, the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Criminal Code of 1961, the Wrongs to Children Act, and the Unified Code of Corrections.
|
|
(iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
|
|
Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118, ruled that Public Act 88‑680 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to appeal.
|
|
(iv) Child pornography is a vital concern to the
|
|
people of this State and the validity of future prosecutions under the child pornography statute of the Criminal Code of 1961 is in grave doubt.
|
|
(2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999
|
|
to prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions for child pornography that may result from challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act 88‑680 by re‑enacting the Section relating to child pornography that was included in Public Act 88‑680.
|
|
(3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re‑enacts Section
|
|
11‑20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been amended. This re‑enactment is intended to remove any question as to the validity or content of that Section; it is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of the Section as set forth in this amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
|
|
(4) The re‑enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999
|
|
of Section 11‑20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to child pornography that was amended by Public Act 88‑680 is not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that Public Act 88‑680 is invalid or to limit or impair any legal argument concerning whether those provisions were substantially re‑enacted by other Public Acts.
