A person is reckless or acts recklessly, when he or she consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or that a result will follow, described by the section defining the offense; and such disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation. An act performed recklessly is performed wantonly, within the meaning of a section using the latter term, unless the statute clearly requires another meaning.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 4-6)
A person is negligent, or acts negligently, when he or she fails to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that circumstances exist or a result will follow, described by the statute defining the offense; and such failure constitutes a substantial deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 4-7)
(A) Elements of the offense. A person commits an attempt when, with intent to commit a specific offense, he or she does any act which constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense.
(B) Impossibility. It shall not be a defense to a charge of attempt that because of a misapprehension of the circumstances it would have been impossible for the accused to commit the offense attempted.
(C) A person convicted of an attempt may be fined not to exceed the maximum provided for the offense attempted. If such fine exceeds that set forth in § 130.99 below, however, the city shall enforce said offense under the provisions of state law.
(ILCS Ch. 720, Act 5, § 8-4) Penalty, see § 130.99
Whoever violates any provisions of this title for which another penalty is not specifically provided shall be fined according to the Uniform Fine Schedule in § 10.99.
