State v. Reynolds
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of his second offense of failing to comply with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. Defendant appealed, arguing that the superior court erred in excluding relevant evidence from the Department of Public Safety, State Bureau of Identification that caused him to believe, erroneously, that he was no longer required to register. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment, holding that, to the extent that the court determined that Defendant’s purported reliance on the letter was not believable, the court made a credibility determination that should have been made by the jury, and therefore, the court erred in excluding the letter.
