Atryzek v. State of Rhode Island (R.I. 2022)

Posted: March 5, 2022
Rhode Island Supreme Court opinion in postconviction registry challenge affirming Superior Court's judgment in part and quashed the judgment in part, concluding that Defendant is no longer required to register, that dates of alleged offenses, not dates of conviction, controlled whether a registration duty was violated, and that the state's argument that earlier convictions gave rise to new independent duty to register was outside the scope of remand.

Posted: January 6, 2022
New York Appellate Division Fourth Department decision reversing a lower court's determination of risk level under SORA finding that the lower court erred in concluding that defendant failed to identify and establish the existence of a mitigating factor not taken into account by the guidelines, where defendant established by a preponderance of the evidence that he had not reoffended for seven years between release from prison and the SORA hearing, despite being unsupervised.
