Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any person incarcerated in an institution or facility of the Department of Corrections shall be eligible for parole or mandatory supervised release after having served 15 years of the sentence when the Prisoner Review Board determines by using the guidelines established in these provisions that there is a strong and reasonable probability that the person will not thereafter violate the law and the person is serving a sentence of natural life imprisonment whose guilty plea was entered or whose trial commenced before December 31, 1990, and who: (1) pleaded guilty to or was found guilty of the first degree murder of a spouse or domestic partner; (2) has no prior violent felony convictions; (3) no longer has a cognizable legal claim or legal recourse; and (4) has a history of being a victim of continual and substantial physical or sexual domestic violence that was not presented as an affirmative defense at trial or sentencing and the history can be corroborated with evidence of facts or circumstances which existed at the time of the alleged physical or sexual domestic violence of the offender, including but not limited to witness statements, hospital records, social services records, and law enforcement records.
