THANK you so much for posting that. I consider this and the judges statements a huge win. At least for those 8 people. It Seems to take tons of money for each person to win because the “Bulk” removal thing is not working. Each person is going to have to do this on their own and many cannot afford it.

I will be eligible soon and will borrow off of my 401K to try and appeal. When I say soon I mean in the next 16 months. Shame they make us wait 20 after we are off all paper. If the judge says we should not be on retroactively, why do we have to wait 20 years?

Good point. I’m interested in how this ruling will actually have an effect on Florida if any.

I’m in. I don’t care too much about cost

no, not aggravated. 2 counts of possession ( PC ) adjud withheld

J. Is your charge aggravated? If so, you are classed violent and on life registration. That’s TN law.

I guess my point is that victims get their say in criminal proceedings if they choose. Since registration is not supposed to be punishment, victims’ desires for additional retribution should not be a factor in legislation or implementation.

I’m glad that you got the bulk of that sentence thrown out. That was at least a bit of justice.

thats the problem i am running into right now, they have on the ” violent ” list, i have spoken to the the Detective and my attorney, both say it is incorrect, but with the pandemic, everyone is working from home, say it will get fixed eventually, and then it will convert to the 5 years from date of 1st registration in tn

Not always the case. In my Case, no one even showed up but me and my lawyer. The state was trying to force the witness to testify but she did not want to as it was her parents who turned us in for dating. I did not want to force her to show up and have a trial so I plead guilty.

That was a huge mistake. I got a 30 year sentence. I went back on appeal and again, she did not show up. This time I challenged in a higher court that the sentence was cruel and personal in nature. The new judge agreed and tossed the rest of my sentence. That was after I had already served 10 years.

I just saw an article on Friday that said the supreme court has refused to hear more cases than ever over the past 6 months. I am talking big cases not related to registry.

They are staying mum on abortion, elections, and many other high profile subjects. So that could be a good or bad thing for us. Good if we win and the state cannot get a higher hearing or bad if they win and we cannot be heard.

As I have said all along though, it is much ,more likely one or two individuals get a win than the entire registry being tossed. That is why so many are getting arrested for spitting on the sidewalk etc. Law enforcement knows many of us are approaching that 20 year mark where we can petition to be relieved of obligations. And they are running scared
