Court of Appeals of Indiana
Robert Eugene Smith, Jr. v. State of Indiana
21A-CR-2493
Criminal. Affirms the Hendricks Superior Court’s denial of Robert Eugene Smith Jr.’s motion to dismiss the charging information alleging he committed two counts each of Level 5 felony failure to register as a sex or violent offender and Level 6 felony failure to register as a sex or violent offender. Finds that although Smith’s motion was timely, he was under a lifetime obligation to register as a sex offender at the time of the alleged offenses. Also finds the 2007 amendment to Indiana Code § 11-8-8-19 did not retroactively apply to Smith, and he is not similarly situated to sex offenders who committed their crimes under a different statutory regime than he did. Finally, finds Smith’s lifetime registration obligation follows from Indiana Code, and a letter from the Johnson County Sheriff does not remove that obligation.
