Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC47331 - State v. Nathaniel T. ("The self-represented defendant, Nathaniel T., who had been convicted of sexual assault in the first degree and risk of injury to a child for which he was sentenced to a period of incarceration, followed by a period of special parole and a period of probation, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his motion to modify the condition of his probation that he comply with all sex offender registry requirements, namely, the requirement that, upon being released from confinement, he register his name and address with the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection and that such registration be maintained for the duration of his life (lifetime sex offender registration). The defendant claims that the court, Dayton, J., improperly denied his motion to modify the lifetime sex offender registration requirement of his probation. In addition, with respect to the underlying sentencing proceedings, the defendant claims that the court, Rodriguez, J., improperly denied him the opportunity to present certain mitigating evidence and imposed an illegal and unconstitutional sentence. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the court.”)
