Illinois HB3521 aims to prevent unreliable statements made during custodial interrogations from being admissible in court.
HB3521 amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 to establish that unreliable statements made by defendants during custodial interrogations at police stations or places of detention are inadmissible in criminal or juvenile court proceedings for homicide. The bill defines "custodial interrogation" and "place of detention," and it mandates that the prosecution disclose its intent to introduce such statements before trial. It also requires the prosecution to provide electronic recordings and related documents.
