Short description: 
CRIM PRO-ID CAPITAL CASES                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Code of Criminal  Procedure  of  1963.  Provides  that      
   during  a  capital trial, no eyewitness who has been exposed, prior to      
   his or her testimony, to an  identification  procedure  in  which  the      
   defendant  was  included shall be permitted to identify the defendant,      
   unless the identification procedure was conducted in  compliance  with      
   certain  requirements.  Provides  that in order for the identification      
   testimony  to  be  admissible,  the  photo  lineup  or   live   lineup      
   identification  procedures  must  be conducted in sequence so that the      
   eyewitness was shown each photograph or each  person  one  at  a  time      
   rather than viewing the photographs or the persons simultaneously, the      
   lineups  must include persons who are not suspects but fit the general      
   description of the defendant, and a written record and video recording      
   of the lineup procedures must be made.
