Illinois Motions and Pre-trial Orders for Criminal Cases are legal documents that are used during the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings in the state of Illinois. They are used to requesting certain court orders, such as requests for continuance, dismissal, suppression of evidence, or a change of venue. They also provide information about the parties involved in the case, and the charges being brought against them. There are several types of Illinois Motions and Pre-trial Orders for Criminal Cases, including: • Motion to Suppress: A motion to suppress is a request to the court to exclude certain evidence from being used in the trial. This motion is based on the idea that the evidence was illegally obtained, or obtained in violation of a defendant's constitutional rights. • Motion to Dismiss: A motion to dismiss is a request to the court to dismiss the charges against the defendant. This motion is based on the idea that there is no sufficient evidence or legal authority to continue the case against the defendant. • Motion for Continuance: A motion for continuance is a request to the court to postpone the trial date. This motion is typically used when the defendant needs additional time to prepare for the trial. • Motion for Change of Venue: A motion for change of venue is a request to the court to move the trial to a different court in the state. This motion is based on the idea that the defendant cannot receive a fair trial in the county in which the case is set.
