Colorado to appeal ruling against sex offender registry
DENVER — Colorado has decided to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that the state violated the constitutional rights of three men by requiring them to register as sex offenders, the state’s attorney general said Wednesday.
Cynthia Coffman said she’ll appeal in coming weeks to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, which maintains the state’s registry.
U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch ruled Aug. 31 that the Colorado registry exposes offenders to punishment from the public and inhibits their ability to find work or housing long after they’ve completed their sentences.
Of course they are. Gotta keep the blossoming sex offender industrial complex going!
Its probably useless trying to educate this woman she’s going to tow the company line now matter how much factual data contrary to her position you put in front of her in her opinion the sky is still brown. I hope the 3 plantiffs attorney is able to argue his position based on these facts so that become common knowledge in the legal/political world so politicians can stop quoting non factual data aka fear to play fast and loose with our human civil and constitutional rights.
The good news here this judge rarely get overruled by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals!!!
