Michigan news: Supreme Court case Michigan vs. Cora Lymon audio from yesterday about being placed on the registry for a non sexual act. But the suit is challenging the registry as a whole. Kidnapping. Worth the listen https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&v=D9StNu-mBpY
So I watched the video and I thought the attorney for Lymon was right lymon should not be on the registry. What I got out of listening to the 2 attorneys for the people was, well, a lot of fast talking mumbo jumbo. Legal cases thrown back and forth.
This is, n my opinion, what’s wrong with our laws and court system. Lymon did not sexually abuse anyone, the bottom line is he is innocent of that and must be removed from the registry.
This was the previous court ruling https://mitchellhamline.edu/sex-offense-litigation-policy/wp-content/uploads/sites/61/2022/08/Michigan-Court-of-Appeals-Decision.pdf if you want to do more legal reading.
The previous court ruling said that Sorna is punishment not just to him but everyone. This man should easily win his case. What they are trying to do is overturn the ruling by the lower court to only apply to him and not the registry as a whole. It’s like when the defense finds the perfect plaintiff so the defense argues this ruling should only apply to him.
This is EXACTLY why I’m not rushing to file suit against FDLE. I don’t want this to just apply to me an not to 45% of the registrants with what they did with the May 17th, 1996 Amendment. They create a Federal law then slip in an Amendment that added public shaming to all but then say it’s a non-punitive scheme when the 3rd Circuit shows it would be punitive to 45% of registrants with it being public. My question to everyone is: Has anyone convicted after 9/13/1994 had an actual Civil Due Process Court Judgement or just a Criminal Due Process Judgement they used to place you on the registry? In 1972 SCOTUS ruled there are 2 sides to an ACT. Criminal and Civil. Do they provide Due Process on the civil side or blend it into the criminal judgement? Every time they put me under a new law I have always ask where is my Due Process?! I’ve been told by Law Enforcement “There is No Process your an Offender” or How many do you expect to have? Well, I only expected to have 1 but I had 2 an the Retroactive Civil Judgement you used the Registry part but refused the “Not For Public Notification” part of it making it Double Jeopardy under the Ex Post Facto / Double Jeopardy clause of the U.S. Constitution. WE GOT THIS PEOPLE!

Wasn’t there a bill that tried to do something similar here in Florida?
Tennessee case: Roath v. Haslam https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/tennessee/tnmdce/3:2017cv00995/71241/253
Apparently, in Tennessee, they did legal gymnastics to rule that the man was an ineligible to sue since his registry was time bard, For some reason. I was hoping this case would go differently since it’s in the 6th circuit.

It’s all gonna bite them in the ass one of these days. 2024 is going to be a good year for us. More news coming soon.
In the coming New Year I would like to see an article by FAC about whats wrong with the registry. Yes in many ways FAC’s hands plus other advocates hands are tied to some extent although we all press on.
While Florida seems the worst place for those that get trapped in all this sex registry shenanigans in many ways, one should understand many in all states are being railroaded also in many ways or where is true justice today.
Seems like this registry is getting like a quality control ordeal of a milk shortage. One is dealing with human lives factors and also undue punishment. due process and fair treatment for many in many of these issues.
