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

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

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

1  (b) Appointed trial counsel shall be compensated upon
2  presentment and certification by the circuit court of a claim
3  for services detailing the date, activity, and time duration
4  for which compensation is sought. Compensation for appointed
5  trial counsel may be paid at a reasonable rate not to exceed
6  $125 per hour. The court shall not authorize payment of bills
7  that are not properly itemized. A request for payment shall be
8  presented under seal and reviewed ex parte with a court
9  reporter present. Every January 20, the statutory rate
10  prescribed in this subsection shall be automatically increased
11  or decreased, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the
12  percentage change in the consumer price index-u during the
13  preceding 12-month calendar year. "Consumer price index-u"
14  means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
15  the United States Department of Labor that measures the
16  average change in prices of goods and services purchased by
17  all urban consumers, United States city average, all items,
18  1982-84=100. The new rate resulting from each annual
19  adjustment shall be determined by the State Treasurer and made
20  available to the chief judge of each judicial circuit.

22  for certification of expenses for reasonable and necessary
23  capital litigation expenses including, but not limited to,
24  investigatory and other assistance, expert, forensic, and
25  other witnesses, and mitigation specialists. Each provider of
26  proposed services must specify the best preliminary estimate

1  that can be made in light of information received in the case
2  at that point, and the provider must sign this estimate under
3  the provisions of Section 1-109 of the Code of Civil
4  Procedure. A provider of proposed services must also specify:
5  (1) his or her hourly rate; (2) the hourly rate of anyone else
6  in his or her employ for whom reimbursement is sought; and (3)
7  the hourly rate of any person or entity that may be
8  subcontracted to perform these services. Counsel may not
9  petition for certification of expenses that may have been
10  provided or compensated by the State Appellate Defender under
11  item (c)(5.1) of Section 10 of the State Appellate Defender
12  Act. The petitions shall be filed under seal and considered ex
13  parte but with a court reporter present for all ex parte
14  conferences. If the requests are submitted after services have
15  been rendered, the requests shall be supported by an invoice
16  describing the services rendered, the dates the services were
17  performed and the amount of time spent. These petitions shall
18  be reviewed by both the trial judge and the presiding judge of
19  the circuit court or the presiding judge's designee. The
20  petitions and orders shall be kept under seal and shall be
21  exempt from Freedom of Information requests until the
22  conclusion of the trial, even if the prosecution chooses not
23  to pursue the death penalty prior to trial or sentencing. If an
24  ex parte hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed
25  necessary by the trial judge, the hearing shall be before the
26  presiding judge or the presiding judge's designee.

1  (d) Appointed trial counsel shall petition the court for
2  certification of compensation and expenses under this Section
3  periodically during the course of counsel's representation.
4  The petitions shall be supported by itemized bills showing the
5  date, the amount of time spent, the work done, and the total
6  being charged for each entry. The court shall not authorize
7  payment of bills that are not properly itemized. The court
8  must certify reasonable and necessary expenses of the
9  petitioner for travel and per diem (lodging, meals, and
10  incidental expenses). These expenses must be paid at the rate
11  as promulgated by the United States General Services
12  Administration for these expenses for the date and location in
13  which they were incurred, unless extraordinary reasons are
14  shown for the difference. The petitions shall be filed under
15  seal and considered ex parte but with a court reporter present
16  for all ex parte conferences. The petitions shall be reviewed
17  by both the trial judge and the presiding judge of the circuit
18  court or the presiding judge's designee. If an ex parte
19  hearing is requested by defense counsel or deemed necessary by
20  the trial judge, the ex parte hearing shall be before the
21  presiding judge or the presiding judge's designee. If the
22  court determines that the compensation and expenses should be
23  paid from the Capital Litigation Trust Fund, the court shall
24  certify, on a form created by the State Treasurer, that all or
25  a designated portion of the amount requested is reasonable,
26  necessary, and appropriate for payment from the Trust Fund.

7  Treasurer and signed by the individual or responsible agent of
8  the entity under the provisions of Section 1-109 of the Code of
9  Civil Procedure that the amount requested is accurate and
10  truthful and reflects time spent or expenses incurred.
11  Certification of compensation and expenses by a court in any
12  county other than Cook County shall be delivered by the court
13  to the State Treasurer and must be paid by the State Treasurer
14  directly from the Capital Litigation Trust Fund if there are
15  sufficient moneys in the Trust Fund to pay the compensation
16  and expenses. If the State Treasurer finds within 14 days of
17  his or her receipt of a certification that the compensation
18  and expenses to be paid are unreasonable, unnecessary, or
19  inappropriate, he or she may return the certification to the
20  court setting forth in detail the objection or objections with
21  a request for the court to review the objection or objections
22  before resubmitting the certification. The State Treasurer
23  must send the claimant a copy of the objection or objections.
24  The State Treasurer may only seek a review of a specific
25  objection once. The claimant has 7 days from his or her receipt
26  of the objections to file a response with the court. With or

8  defendant desires counsel and has been unable to obtain same
9  before arraignment the court shall recess court or continue
10  the cause for a reasonable time to permit defendant to obtain
11  counsel and consult with him before pleading to the charge. If
12  the accused is a dissolved corporation, and is not represented
13  by counsel, the court may, in the interest of justice, appoint
14  as counsel a licensed attorney of this State.
15  (b) In all cases, except where the penalty is a fine only,
16  if the court determines that the defendant is indigent and
17  desires counsel, the Public Defender shall be appointed as
18  counsel. If there is no Public Defender in the county or if the

8  sufficient information to ascertain the assets and liabilities
9  of that defendant. The Court may direct the Clerk of the
10  Circuit Court to assist the defendant in the completion of the
11  affidavit. Any person who knowingly files such affidavit
12  containing false information concerning his assets and
13  liabilities shall be liable to the county where the case, in

1  (b-5). Mitigating factors may include but need not
2  be limited to the following:
3  (1) the defendant has no significant history
4  of prior criminal activity;
5  (2) the murder was committed while the
6  defendant was under the influence of extreme
7  mental or emotional disturbance, although not such
8  as to constitute a defense to prosecution;
9  (3) the murdered individual was a participant
10  in the defendant's homicidal conduct or consented
11  to the homicidal act;
12  (4) the defendant acted under the compulsion
13  of threat or menace of the imminent infliction of
14  death or great bodily harm;
15  (5) the defendant was not personally present

22  that does not otherwise mitigate first degree
23  murder cannot qualify as a mitigating factor for
24  first degree murder because of the discovery,
25  knowledge, or disclosure of the victim's sexual
26  orientation as defined in Section 1-103 of the

2  (a-3) If requested by the State, the court shall
3  conduct a separate sentencing proceeding to determine
4  the existence of factors set forth in subsections (b)
5  and (b-5) and to consider any aggravating or
6  mitigating factors as indicated in this subsection
7  (a-2). The proceeding shall be conducted:
8  (1) before the jury that determined the
9  defendant's guilt; or
10  (2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose
11  of the proceeding if:
12  (A) the defendant was convicted upon a
13  plea of guilty; or
14  (B) the defendant was convicted after a
15  trial before the court sitting without a jury;
16  or
17  (C) the court for good cause shown
18  discharges the jury that determined the
19  defendant's guilt; or
20  (3) before the court alone if the defendant
21  waives a jury for the separate proceeding.
22  (a-4) During the proceeding any information
23  relevant to any of the factors set forth in
24  subsections (b) and (b-5) may be presented by either
25  the State or the defendant under the rules governing
26  the admission of evidence at criminal trials. Any

1  information relevant to any additional aggravating
2  factors or any mitigating factors indicated in
3  subsection (a-2) may be presented by the State or
4  defendant regardless of its admissibility under the
5  rules governing the admission of evidence at criminal
6  trials. The State and the defendant shall be given
7  fair opportunity to rebut any information received at
8  the hearing.
9  (a-5) The burden of proof of establishing the
10  existence of any of the factors set forth in
11  subsections (b) and (b-5) is on the State and shall not
12  be satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable
13  doubt.
14  (a-6) If at the separate sentencing proceeding the
15  jury finds that none of the factors set forth in
16  subsections (b) and (b-5) exists, the court shall
17  sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under
18  Chapter V. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury
19  that one or more of the factors set forth in
20  subsections (b) and (b-5) exist, the jury shall
21  consider aggravating and mitigating factors as
22  instructed by the court and shall determine whether
23  the sentence of death shall be imposed. If the jury
24  determines unanimously, after weighing the factors in
25  aggravation and mitigation, that death is the
26  appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the

1  defendant to death. If the court does not concur with
2  the jury determination that death is the appropriate
3  sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in writing
4  including what facts or circumstances the court relied
5  upon, along with any relevant documents, that
6  compelled the court to non-concur with the sentence.
7  This document and any attachments shall be part of the
8  record for appellate review. The court shall be bound
9  by the jury's sentencing determination. If after
10  weighing the factors in aggravation and mitigation,
11  one or more jurors determines that death is not the
12  appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the
13  defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of
14  the Unified Code of Corrections.
15  (a-7) In a proceeding before the court alone, if
16  the court finds that none of the factors found in
17  subsections (b) and (b-5) exists, the court shall
18  sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment under
19  Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections. If the
20  Court determines that one or more of the factors set
21  forth in subsections (b) and (b-5) exists, the court
22  shall consider any aggravating and mitigating factors
23  as indicated in subsection (a-2). If the court
24  determines, after weighing the factors in aggravation
25  and mitigation, that death is the appropriate
26  sentence, the Court shall sentence the defendant to

1  death. If the court finds that death is not the
2  appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the
3  defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of
4  the Unified Code of Corrections.
5  (a-8) In a case in which the defendant has been
6  found guilty of first degree murder by a judge or jury,
7  or a case on remand for resentencing, and the State
8  seeks the death penalty as an appropriate sentence, on
9  the court's own motion or the written motion of the
10  defendant, the court may decertify the case as a death
11  penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence
12  supporting the defendant's conviction is the
13  uncorroborated testimony of an informant witness, as
14  defined in Section 115-21 of the Code of Criminal
15  Procedure of 1963, concerning the confession or
16  admission of the defendant or that the sole evidence
17  against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
18  accomplice without any other corroborating evidence.
19  If the court decertifies the case as a capital case
20  under either of the grounds set forth above, the court
21  shall issue a written finding. The State may pursue
22  its right to appeal the decertification pursuant to
23  Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If the court does not
24  decertify the case as a capital case, the matter shall
25  proceed to the eligibility phase of the sentencing
26  hearing.

1  (a-9) The conviction and sentence of death shall
2  be subject to automatic review by the Supreme Court.
3  Such review shall be in accordance with rules
4  promulgated by the Supreme Court. The Illinois Supreme
5  Court may overturn the death sentence, and order the
6  imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V if the
7  court finds that the death sentence is fundamentally
8  unjust as applied to the particular case. If the
9  Illinois Supreme Court finds that the death sentence
10  is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
11  case, independent of any procedural grounds for
12  relief, the Illinois Supreme Court shall issue a
13  written opinion explaining this finding.
14  (a-10) If the death penalty in this amendatory Act
15  of the 104th General Assembly is held to be
16  unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United
17  States or of the State of Illinois, any person
18  convicted of first degree murder shall be sentenced by
19  the court to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V. If
20  any death sentence pursuant to the sentencing
21  provisions of this Section is declared
22  unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United
23  States or of the State of Illinois, the court having
24  jurisdiction over a person previously sentenced to
25  death shall cause the defendant to be brought before
26  the court, and the court shall sentence the defendant

6  and are only advisory in nature, or
7  (b) if a trier of fact finds beyond a reasonable
8  doubt that the murder was accompanied by exceptionally
9  brutal or heinous behavior indicative of wanton
10  cruelty or, except as set forth in subsection
11  (a)(1)(c) of this Section, that any of the aggravating
12  factors listed in subparagraph (b-5) are present, the
