Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Does Illinois's SORA scheme constitute punishment that impinges the fundamental right of unfit defendants to be free from trial or sentencing, thus failing strict scrutiny?

II. Does Illinois's SORA scheme's application to unfit defendants unlikely to recidivate violate substantive due process, both facially under rational basis review and as applied to a defendant with significant cognitive defects?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does Illinois's SORA scheme constitute punishment that impinges the fundamental right of unfit defendants to be free from trial or sentencing, thus failing strict scrutiny?
