409409 9 (e) Evidence and Argument.
410410 10 During the proceeding any information relevant to any of
411411 11 the factors set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by
412412 12 either the State or the defendant under the rules governing

437437 1 If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds
438438 2 that none of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists,
439439 3 the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
440440 4 imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
441441 5 Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
442442 6 one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist,
443443 7 the jury shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as
444444 8 instructed by the court and shall determine whether the
445445 9 sentence of death shall be imposed. If the jury determines
446446 10 unanimously, after weighing the factors in aggravation and
447447 11 mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court
448448 12 shall sentence the defendant to death. If the court does not
449449 13 concur with the jury determination that death is the
450450 14 appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in
451451 15 writing including what facts or circumstances the court relied
452452 16 upon, along with any relevant documents, that compelled the
453453 17 court to non-concur with the sentence. This document and any
454454 18 attachments shall be part of the record for appellate review.
455455 19 The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing
456456 20 determination.
457457 21 If after weighing the factors in aggravation and
458458 22 mitigation, one or more jurors determines that death is not
459459 23 the appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the
460460 24 defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
461461 25 Unified Code of Corrections.

473473 1 In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds
474474 2 that none of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the
475475 3 court shall sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment
476476 4 under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
477477 5 If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set
478478 6 forth in subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any
479479 7 aggravating and mitigating factors as indicated in subsection
480480 8 (c). If the Court determines, after weighing the factors in
481481 9 aggravation and mitigation, that death is the appropriate
482482 10 sentence, the Court shall sentence the defendant to death.
483483 11 If the court finds that death is not the appropriate
484484 12 sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
485485 13 imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
486486 14 Corrections.
487487 15 (h-5) Decertification as a capital case.
488488 16 In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of
489489 17 first degree murder by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for
490490 18 resentencing, and the State seeks the death penalty as an
491491 19 appropriate sentence, on the court's own motion or the written
492492 20 motion of the defendant, the court may decertify the case as a
493493 21 death penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence
494494 22 supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated
495495 23 testimony of an informant witness, as defined in Section
496496 24 115-21 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, concerning
497497 25 the confession or admission of the defendant or that the sole

509509 1 single accomplice without any other corroborating evidence. If
510510 2 the court decertifies the case as a capital case under either
511511 3 of the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a written
512512 4 finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the
513513 5 decertification pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If
514514 6 the court does not decertify the case as a capital case, the
515515 7 matter shall proceed to the eligibility phase of the
516516 8 sentencing hearing.
517517 9 (i) Appellate Procedure.
518518 10 The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to
519519 11 automatic review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in
520520 12 accordance with rules promulgated by the Supreme Court. The
521521 13 Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and
522522 14 order the imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
523523 15 Unified Code of Corrections if the court finds that the death
524524 16 sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
525525 17 case. If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the death
526526 18 sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
527527 19 case, independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the
528528 20 Illinois Supreme Court shall issue a written opinion
529529 21 explaining this finding.
530530 22 (j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
531531 23 In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to
532532 24 be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States
533533 25 or of the State of Illinois, any person convicted of first

548548 4 sentencing provisions of this Section is declared
549549 5 unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or
550550 6 of the State of Illinois, the court having jurisdiction over a
551551 7 person previously sentenced to death shall cause the defendant
552552 8 to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
553553 9 the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
554554 10 Unified Code of Corrections.
555555 11 (k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
556556 12 The Attorney General and State's Attorneys Association
557557 13 shall consult on voluntary guidelines for procedures governing
558558 14 whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines do not
559559 15 have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.
