State v. Berry
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the requirement that Defendant register as a predatory offender based on her conviction for aiding an offender to avoid arrest, holding that Defendant was not subject to the predatory offender registration requirement.
Defendant helped her husband flee to Ohio after he committed a crime. Defendant was charged with, among other crimes, aiding an offender to avoid arrest. Defendant pled guilty to aiding an offender to avoid arrest and, at the plea hearing, was ordered to register as a predatory offender. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Defendant's conviction and charged offenses did not arise from the same set of circumstances; and (2) therefore, the predatory registration statute did not apply to Defendant's conviction.
