under paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) relevant to the
nature and circumstances of the crime and to the history
and character of the defendant, finds on the record
substantial and compelling justification that the sentence

seriousness of the offense.

predicate offense;

predicate offense;

offense;

predicate or current offense under specific and
credible duress, coercion, threat, or compulsion;

apprehension of another felon or testified truthfully
on behalf of another prosecution of a felony; and

person's rehabilitation, including employment or
educational or vocational training, after taking into

SB2065 - 18 - LRB103 25262 RLC 51606 b
account any past rehabilitation efforts or
dispositions of probation or supervision, and the
defendant's cooperation or response to rehabilitation.
(3) When departing from the sentencing guidelines
under this Section, the court shall specify on the record,
the particular evidence, information, factor or factors,
or other reasons which led to the departure from the
sentencing guidelines. When departing from the sentencing
range in accordance with this subsection (d), the court
shall indicate on the sentencing order which departure
factor or factors outlined in paragraph (2) of this
subsection (d) led to the sentence imposed. The sentencing
order shall be filed with the clerk of the court and shall
be a public record.
