STATE OF LOUISIANA * NO. 2013-KA-0411 VERSUS * COURT OF APPEAL WALLACE COLLINS * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA * * ******* LEDET, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS I concur, but question the approach the Legislature has taken to protect the public from sex offenders. We cannot continue to deny the severe reporting and financial obligations imposed as a result of lifetime registration and notification upon those defendants with specific, terminable reporting requirements at the time of conviction and release from prison. The stigma attached to sex offenders is significant and the possibility of ostracism is real. Not everyone convicted of a sexual offense is a predator or habitual sex offender. The disparity of impact of the current law on an individual convicted prior to the 2008 amendment to La. R.S. 15:544 should be given constitutional protection from further legislative consideration.
