21 | in its
findings or stated in or
offered in connection with this | ||||||
22 | Section may be by way of proffer based upon
reliable | ||||||
23 | information offered by the State or defendant.
All evidence | ||||||
24 | shall be admissible if it is relevant and
reliable regardless | ||||||
25 | of whether it would be admissible under the rules of
evidence | ||||||
26 | applicable at criminal trials.
If the State presents evidence |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the offense committed by the defendant
was related to or | ||||||
2 | in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized
gang | ||||||
3 | or was motivated by the defendant's membership in or allegiance | ||||||
4 | to an
organized gang, and if the court determines that the | ||||||
5 | evidence may be
substantiated, the court shall prohibit the | ||||||
6 | defendant from associating with
other members of the organized | ||||||
7 | gang as a condition of bail or release.
For the purposes of | ||||||
8 | this Section,
"organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it | ||||||
9 | in Section 10 of the Illinois
Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus | ||||||
10 | Prevention Act.
| ||||||
11 | (b) The amount of bail shall be:
| ||||||
12 | (1) Sufficient to assure compliance with the | ||||||
13 | conditions set forth in the
bail bond, which shall include | ||||||
14 | the defendant's current address with a written
| ||||||
15 | admonishment to the defendant that he or she must comply | ||||||
16 | with the provisions of
Section 110-12 regarding any change | ||||||
17 | in his or her address. The defendant's
address shall at all | ||||||
18 | times remain a matter of public record with the clerk
of | ||||||
19 | the court.
| ||||||
20 | (2) Not oppressive.
| ||||||
21 | (3) Considerate of the financial ability of the | ||||||
22 | accused.
| ||||||
23 | (4) When a person is charged with a drug related | ||||||
24 | offense involving
possession or delivery of cannabis or | ||||||
25 | possession or delivery of a
controlled substance as defined | ||||||
26 | in the Cannabis Control Act,
the Illinois Controlled |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and | ||||||
2 | Community Protection Act, the full street value
of the | ||||||
3 | drugs seized shall be considered. "Street value" shall be
| ||||||
4 | determined by the court on the basis of a proffer by the | ||||||
5 | State based upon
reliable information of a law enforcement | ||||||
6 | official contained in a written
report as to the amount | ||||||
7 | seized and such proffer may be used by the court as
to the | ||||||
8 | current street value of the smallest unit of the drug | ||||||
9 | seized.
| ||||||
10 | (b-1) When the defendant is charged with a non-violent | ||||||
11 | crime, in setting the amount of bail, the court shall consider | ||||||
12 | any evidence offered as to the annual gross income of the | ||||||
13 | defendant. For the purposes of this subsection (b-1), "gross | ||||||
14 | income" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 61 of the | ||||||
15 | federal Internal Revenue Code; and "non-violent crime" means an | ||||||
16 | offense that is not a violent crime as defined in Section 3 of | ||||||
17 | the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act.
| ||||||
18 | (b-5) Upon the filing of a written request demonstrating | ||||||
19 | reasonable cause, the State's Attorney may request a source of | ||||||
20 | bail hearing either before or after the posting of any funds.
| ||||||
21 | If the hearing is granted, before the posting of any bail, the | ||||||
22 | accused must file a written notice requesting that the court | ||||||
23 | conduct a source of bail hearing. The notice must be | ||||||
24 | accompanied by justifying affidavits stating the legitimate | ||||||
25 | and lawful source of funds for bail. At the hearing, the court | ||||||
26 | shall inquire into any matters stated in any justifying |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | affidavits, and may also inquire into matters appropriate to | ||||||
2 | the determination which shall include, but are not limited to, | ||||||
3 | the following: | ||||||
4 | (1) the background, character, reputation, and | ||||||
5 | relationship to the accused of any surety; and | ||||||
6 | (2) the source of any money or property deposited by | ||||||
7 | any surety, and whether any such money or property | ||||||
8 | constitutes the fruits of criminal or unlawful conduct; and | ||||||
9 | (3) the source of any money posted as cash bail, and | ||||||
10 | whether any such money constitutes the fruits of criminal | ||||||
11 | or unlawful conduct; and | ||||||
12 | (4) the background, character, reputation, and | ||||||
13 | relationship to the accused of the person posting cash | ||||||
14 | bail. | ||||||
15 | Upon setting the hearing, the court shall examine, under | ||||||
16 | oath, any persons who may possess material information. | ||||||
17 | The State's Attorney has a right to attend the hearing, to | ||||||
18 | call witnesses and to examine any witness in the proceeding. | ||||||
19 | The court shall, upon request of the State's Attorney, continue | ||||||
20 | the proceedings for a reasonable period to allow the State's | ||||||
21 | Attorney to investigate the matter raised in any testimony or | ||||||
22 | affidavit.
If the hearing is granted after the accused has | ||||||
23 | posted bail, the court shall conduct a hearing consistent with | ||||||
24 | this subsection (b-5). At the conclusion of the hearing, the | ||||||
25 | court must issue an order either approving of disapproving the | ||||||
26 | bail.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) When a person is charged with an offense punishable by | ||||||
2 | fine only the
amount of the bail shall not exceed double the | ||||||
3 | amount of the maximum penalty.
| ||||||
4 | (d) When a person has been convicted of an offense and only | ||||||
5 | a fine has
been imposed the amount of the bail shall not exceed | ||||||
6 | double the amount of
the fine.
| ||||||
7 | (e) The State may appeal any order granting bail or setting
| ||||||
8 | a given amount for bail.
