We are very excited to announce that University of Miami Law School Professor and attorney Tamara Rice Lave has joined the legal team representing the plaintiffs in Does v. Swearingen (the Ex Post Facto Plus case).

Is there not an argument of bias in the sense that everyone who falls under the criteria after 1997 is clearly designated by a court of law as a sexual offender and thus informed by the court of the responsibilities and requirements of being a registered sexual offender for 25 years and or life, wherein anyone from 1994-1997 ( prior to Oct 1997), could of had no jail time, no mandatory sexual offender counseling which is someways could be a form of ‘designation” and of course never designated by a court of law, so for example they simple are sentenced to “standard probation”, are early terminated 2 months prior to SO law and thus informed the now have to resister? Something just is not fair about that. Those from 1997 are given that opportunity to decide as part of their plea ( if they take the plea). You can’t sentence someone to a lifetime in prison then 3 years into their sentence, order a death warrant? And what if that same person did get their civil rights back before the governor, are waiting a full pardon although will be removed in 2 years under the 25 year rule which they fall to petition for removal? There has to be an argument of bias in addition to the “additional punishment”. This state has truly constitutionally violated the rights of some people.
I hope she can debunk that ” high” part Some of us been out of prison for over 9 yrs and others a lot longer without re offending and the one who do re offender because it is for “civil Punishment” Welcome abroad ms. rice to the “Crazy Train”*
