68	68	1 Section 10. Court appointed trial counsel; compensation
69	69	2 and expenses.
70	70	3 (a) This Section applies only to compensation and expenses
71	71	4 of trial counsel appointed by the court as set forth in Section
72	72	5 5, other than public defenders, for the period after
73	73	6 arraignment and so long as the State's Attorney has not, at any
74	74	7 time, filed a certificate indicating he or she will not seek
75	75	8 the death penalty or stated on the record in open court that
76	76	9 the death penalty will not be sought.
77	77	10 (a-5) Litigation budget.
78	78	11 (1) In a case in which the State has filed a statement
79	79	12 of intent to seek the death penalty, the court shall
80	80	13 require appointed counsel, including those appointed in
81	81	14 Cook County, after counsel has had adequate time to review
82	82	15 the case and prior to engaging trial assistance, to submit
83	83	16 a proposed estimated litigation budget for court approval,
84	84	17 that will be subject to modification in light of facts and
85	85	18 developments that emerge as the case proceeds. Case
86	86	19 budgets should be submitted ex parte and filed and
87	87	20 maintained under seal in order to protect the defendant's
88	88	21 right to effective assistance of counsel, right not to
89	89	22 incriminate him or herself and all applicable privileges.
90	90	23 Case budgets shall be reviewed and approved by the judge
91	91	24 assigned to try the case. As provided under subsection (c)
92	92	25 of this Section, petitions for compensation shall be

103	103	1 reviewed by both the trial judge and the presiding judge
104	104	2 or the presiding judge's designee.
105	105	3 (2) The litigation budget shall serve purposes
106	106	4 comparable to those of private retainer agreements by
107	107	5 confirming both the court's and the attorney's
108	108	6 expectations regarding fees and expenses. Consideration
109	109	7 should be given to employing an ex parte pretrial
110	110	8 conference in order to facilitate reaching agreement on a
111	111	9 litigation budget at the earliest opportunity.
112	112	10 (3) The budget shall be incorporated into a sealed
113	113	11 initial pretrial order that reflects the understandings of
114	114	12 the court and counsel regarding all matters affecting
115	115	13 counsel compensation and reimbursement and payments for
116	116	14 investigative, expert and other services, including, but
117	117	15 not limited to, the following matters:
118	118	16 (A) the hourly rate at which counsel will be
119	119	17 compensated;
120	120	18 (B) the hourly rate at which private
121	121	19 investigators, other than investigators employed by
122	122	20 the Office of the State Appellate Defender, will be
123	123	21 compensated; and
124	124	22 (C) the best preliminary estimate that can be made
125	125	23 of the cost of all services, including, but not
126	126	24 limited to, counsel, expert, and investigative
127	127	25 services that are likely to be needed through the
128	128	26 guilt and penalty phases of the trial. The court shall

139	139	1 have discretion to require that budgets be prepared
140	140	2 for shorter intervals of time.
141	141	3 (4) Appointed counsel may obtain, subject to later
142	142	4 review, investigative, expert, or other services without
143	143	5 prior authorization if necessary for an adequate defense.
144	144	6 If the services are obtained, the presiding judge or the
145	145	7 presiding judge's designee shall consider in an ex parte
146	146	8 proceeding that timely procurement of necessary services
147	147	9 could not await prior authorization. If an ex parte
148	148	10 hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed
149	149	11 necessary by the trial judge prior to modifying a budget,
150	150	12 the ex parte hearing shall be before the presiding judge
151	151	13 or the presiding judge's designee. The judge may then
152	152	14 authorize the services nunc pro tunc. If the presiding
153	153	15 judge or the presiding judge's designee finds that the
154	154	16 services were not reasonable, payment may be denied.
155	155	17 (5) An approved budget shall guide counsel's use of
156	156	18 time and resources by indicating the services for which
157	157	19 compensation is authorized. The case budget shall be
158	158	20 re-evaluated when justified by changed or unexpected
159	159	21 circumstances and shall be modified by the court when
160	160	22 reasonable and necessary for an adequate defense. If an ex
161	161	23 parte hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed
162	162	24 necessary by the trial judge prior to modifying a budget,
163	163	25 the ex parte hearing shall be before the presiding judge
164	164	26 or the presiding judge's designee.

175	175	1 (b) Appointed trial counsel shall be compensated upon
176	176	2 presentment and certification by the circuit court of a claim
177	177	3 for services detailing the date, activity, and time duration
178	178	4 for which compensation is sought. Compensation for appointed
179	179	5 trial counsel may be paid at a reasonable rate not to exceed
180	180	6 $125 per hour. The court shall not authorize payment of bills
181	181	7 that are not properly itemized. A request for payment shall be
182	182	8 presented under seal and reviewed ex parte with a court
183	183	9 reporter present. Every January 20, the statutory rate
184	184	10 prescribed in this subsection shall be automatically increased
185	185	11 or decreased, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the
186	186	12 percentage change in the consumer price index-u during the
187	187	13 preceding 12-month calendar year. "Consumer price index-u"
188	188	14 means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
189	189	15 the United States Department of Labor that measures the
190	190	16 average change in prices of goods and services purchased by
191	191	17 all urban consumers, United States city average, all items,
192	192	18 1982-84=100. The new rate resulting from each annual
193	193	19 adjustment shall be determined by the State Treasurer and made
194	194	20 available to the chief judge of each judicial circuit.
195	195	21 (c) Appointed trial counsel may also petition the court
196	196	22 for certification of expenses for reasonable and necessary
197	197	23 capital litigation expenses including, but not limited to,
198	198	24 investigatory and other assistance, expert, forensic, and
199	199	25 other witnesses, and mitigation specialists. Each provider of

220	220	10 provided or compensated by the State Appellate Defender under
221	221	11 item (c)(5.1) of Section 10 of the State Appellate Defender
222	222	12 Act. The petitions shall be filed under seal and considered ex
223	223	13 parte but with a court reporter present for all ex parte
224	224	14 conferences. If the requests are submitted after services have
225	225	15 been rendered, the requests shall be supported by an invoice
226	226	16 describing the services rendered, the dates the services were
227	227	17 performed and the amount of time spent. These petitions shall
228	228	18 be reviewed by both the trial judge and the presiding judge of
229	229	19 the circuit court or the presiding judge's designee. The
230	230	20 petitions and orders shall be kept under seal and shall be
231	231	21 exempt from Freedom of Information requests until the
232	232	22 conclusion of the trial, even if the prosecution chooses not
233	233	23 to pursue the death penalty prior to trial or sentencing. If an
234	234	24 ex parte hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed
235	235	25 necessary by the trial judge, the hearing shall be before the
236	236	26 presiding judge or the presiding judge's designee.

258	258	12 Administration for these expenses for the date and location in
259	259	13 which they were incurred, unless extraordinary reasons are
260	260	14 shown for the difference. The petitions shall be filed under
261	261	15 seal and considered ex parte but with a court reporter present

1145	1145	5 (725 ILCS 5/113-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 113-3)
1146	1146	6 Sec. 113-3. (a) Every person charged with an offense shall
1147	1147	7 be allowed counsel before pleading to the charge. If the
1148	1148	8 defendant desires counsel and has been unable to obtain same
1149	1149	9 before arraignment the court shall recess court or continue
1150	1150	10 the cause for a reasonable time to permit defendant to obtain
1151	1151	11 counsel and consult with him before pleading to the charge. If
1152	1152	12 the accused is a dissolved corporation, and is not represented
1153	1153	13 by counsel, the court may, in the interest of justice, appoint
1154	1154	14 as counsel a licensed attorney of this State.
1155	1155	15 (b) In all cases, except where the penalty is a fine only,
1156	1156	16 if the court determines that the defendant is indigent and
1157	1157	17 desires counsel, the Public Defender shall be appointed as
1158	1158	18 counsel. If there is no Public Defender in the county or if the
1159	1159	19 defendant requests counsel other than the Public Defender and
1160	1160	20 the court finds that the rights of the defendant will be
1161	1161	21 prejudiced by the appointment of the Public Defender, the
1162	1162	22 court shall appoint as counsel a licensed attorney at law of
1163	1163	23 this State, except that in a county having a population of
1164	1164	24 2,000,000 or more the Public Defender shall be appointed as

1176	1176	2 indigent and desires counsel unless the case involves multiple
1177	1177	3 defendants, in which case the court may appoint counsel other
1178	1178	4 than the Public Defender for the additional defendants. The
1179	1179	5 court shall require an affidavit signed by any defendant who
1180	1180	6 requests court-appointed counsel. Such affidavit shall be in
1181	1181	7 the form established by the Supreme Court containing
1182	1182	8 sufficient information to ascertain the assets and liabilities
1183	1183	9 of that defendant. The Court may direct the Clerk of the
1184	1184	10 Circuit Court to assist the defendant in the completion of the
1185	1185	11 affidavit. Any person who knowingly files such affidavit
1186	1186	12 containing false information concerning his assets and
1187	1187	13 liabilities shall be liable to the county where the case, in
1188	1188	14 which such false affidavit is filed, is pending for the
1189	1189	15 reasonable value of the services rendered by the public
1190	1190	16 defender or other court-appointed counsel in the case to the
1191	1191	17 extent that such services were unjustly or falsely procured.
1192	1192	18 (c) Upon the filing with the court of a verified statement
1193	1193	19 of services rendered the court shall order the county
1194	1194	20 treasurer of the county of trial to pay counsel other than the
1195	1195	21 Public Defender a reasonable fee. The court shall consider all
1196	1196	22 relevant circumstances, including but not limited to the time
1197	1197	23 spent while court is in session, other time spent in
1198	1198	24 representing the defendant, and expenses reasonably incurred

1220	1220	10 circumstances, payment in excess of the limits herein stated
1221	1221	11 may be made if the trial court certifies that such payment is
1222	1222	12 necessary to provide fair compensation for protracted

1224	1224	14 verified statement before the termination of the cause, and
1225	1225	15 may order the provisional payment of sums during the pendency
1226	1226	16 of the cause.

1496	1496	3 factors may include, but need not be limited to, the
1497	1497	4 following:
1498	1498	5 (1) the defendant has no significant history
1499	1499	6 of prior criminal activity;
1500	1500	7 (2) the murder was committed while the
1501	1501	8 defendant was under the influence of extreme
1502	1502	9 mental or emotional disturbance, although not such
1503	1503	10 as to constitute a defense to prosecution;
1504	1504	11 (3) the murdered individual was a participant
1505	1505	12 in the defendant's homicidal conduct or consented
1506	1506	13 to the homicidal act;
1507	1507	14 (4) the defendant acted under the compulsion
1508	1508	15 of threat or menace of the imminent infliction of
1509	1509	16 death or great bodily harm;

1514	1514	21 history of extreme emotional or physical abuse;
1515	1515	22 (7) the defendant suffers from a reduced
1516	1516	23 mental capacity. Provided, however, that an action

1552	1552	23 waives a jury for the separate proceeding.
1553	1553	24 (a-4) During the proceeding any information

1579	1579	14 be satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable
1580	1580	15 doubt.

1606	1606	5 sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in writing
1607	1607	6 including what facts or circumstances the court relied
1608	1608	7 upon, along with any relevant documents, that
1609	1609	8 compelled the court to non-concur with the sentence.

1613	1613	12 weighing the factors in aggravation and mitigation,
1614	1614	13 one or more jurors determines that death is not the

1646	1646	9 or a case on remand for resentencing, and the State
1647	1647	10 seeks the death penalty as an appropriate sentence, on
1648	1648	11 the court's own motion or the written motion of the
1649	1649	12 defendant, the court may decertify the case as a death
1650	1650	13 penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence
1651	1651	14 supporting the defendant's conviction is the
1652	1652	15 uncorroborated testimony of an informant witness, as
1653	1653	16 defined in Section 115-21 of the Code of Criminal
1654	1654	17 Procedure of 1963, concerning the confession or
1655	1655	18 admission of the defendant or that the sole evidence
1656	1656	19 against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
1657	1657	20 accomplice without any other corroborating evidence.
1658	1658	21 If the court decertifies the case as a capital case
1659	1659	22 under either of the grounds set forth above, the court
1660	1660	23 shall issue a written finding. The State may pursue
1661	1661	24 its right to appeal the decertification pursuant to
1662	1662	25 Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If the court does not
1663	1663	26 decertify the case as a capital case, the matter shall

1679	1679	6 promulgated by the Supreme Court. The Illinois Supreme
1680	1680	7 Court may overturn the death sentence, and order the
1681	1681	8 imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V if the
1682	1682	9 court finds that the death sentence is fundamentally
1683	1683	10 unjust as applied to the particular case. If the
1684	1684	11 Illinois Supreme Court finds that the death sentence
1685	1685	12 is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
1686	1686	13 case, independent of any procedural grounds for
1687	1687	14 relief, the Illinois Supreme Court shall issue a
1688	1688	15 written opinion explaining this finding.
1689	1689	16 (a-10) If the death penalty in this amendatory Act

1693	1693	20 convicted of first degree murder shall be sentenced by
