Thoughts on the upcoming need for visas for many countries in Europe starting in 2021? Will this mean going to a “safe” country and then traveling to a “visa” country will be an issue? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/americans-need-visa-europe
Any updates on the efforts to change the tiered registry prior to it going into effect on January 1st 2021? Specifically making tier three slightly less illogical by removing non production CP felonies from it? Better yet is there any more clarity on how the tiered system will sift out all the federal offenses into the state tiers where there isn’t an exact match?
@Everyone,
Well I emailed Ms Aukerman from Michigan’s ACLU about the Oral Arguments, and why Ms Nessels brief’s were not brought up, and why we continue to negotiate with Michigan when they have clearly lost and can no longer take it to any courts to continue to litigate. She of course had very little to say, here is what she wrote back to me though,(her) I can appreciate your frustration. We are returning to court for an injunction in Does II, but ultimately it will be legislative reform that makes a difference. And that is very slow, unfortunately.

Received a HUMONGOUS postcard (11.5 x 6.5) in the mail from attorneys Crawford and Boyle with a gigantic bold headline “Is Georgia’s Sex Offender Registry RUINING YOUR LIFE?”.
Sweet Mary’s goat, why don’t they just pull in front of my house with a bullhorn? On top of that, I’ve already been removed from Georgia’s registry. My likelihood of calling these knucklehead leaches, other than as criminal defendants, is as close to zero as possible.
Kamala Harris is such a joke. I’m black and notice she only wants to talk about being black when it benefits her.

So, just had my “price club” renewal and the supervising officer demanded new information that Iam pretty sure they are not allowed to collect. When asked he implied it was required info. Thing is the info wasn’t about me. It was about people living with me. He wanted the names and ages of my wife, mother-in-law, and minor daughter. Anybody else experience this? I am not on paper.
Yesterday I got a call that made me sink. A close friend of mine in Thailand died yesterday. He was attempting to rescue a recreational diver in distress and suffered a burst lung. We had worked and lived together when I first moved there. We shared adventures and he gave me hope in emails and calls after my wife died and my subsequent conviction.
I am very depressed because I can’t be there for his service or for his family. I feel even more isolated than I usually do.
Aroon will always be one of my closest friends and not being able to talk and share with him leaves me wondering if I will ever see the home I built, the friends and family I have, or the life I loved so much.
I bring this here because I have the need to put my thoughts down and try to understand and accept. I work on the pillars of my beliefs every day. I know that impermanence and non attachment is important to embrace. But when I have doubts about the future and life in general, I ask myself why try at all.

Is anyone aware of another PA Supreme Court case that is pending? Just listed today and another one to watch. I couldn’t find any documents but here is the link. It has to do with the “new” SORNA in PA after Muniz also being unconstitutional as expo facto.
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Appellant v. George J. Torsilieri

Here are some other cases I ran across as well. PA is getting slammed.

If anyone has any information to offer or any links to actual court documents, please share.
For those of you that don’t follow sports, a Nebraska football player that is expected to go high in upcoming draft had a warrant issued by California for possession and distribution of sexually explicit video.
It seems he had video of two men sexually assaulting his then girlfriend when she was 15yrs old. He then sent it to her after they broke up.
1. Who films a girl they care about being assaulted( or any person for that matter)
2. Who keeps that video and sends it to the woman
3. If he sent it to others, are those in possession of the video now in danger of prosecution (or persecution in this day and age!)

Vote to abolish the registry.

Hello Everyone,
Here is an article that was on Channel 7 action news, about possibly abolishing Michigan’s Registry, I doubt it, but who knows , at least the media is finally bring attention to it. Please let me know your thoughts on the article.
https://www.wxyz.com/news/michigan-sex-offender-list-at-risk-after-lawsuit-pushes-to-end-registry
Hopefully The Michigan Supreme Court will finally put an end to this unconstitutional registry, or force a well over due change.
Got another letter from Lawyerinmyarea.com, (626) 827-7222 stating they will get me off the registery and they do it in God’s name.
What I hate is they keep sending these letters to my house. Bad enough they are getting my information from the registery, but putting stating SEx OFFENDER in big font, and using my saviors name in vain. How do I make it stop?
Things are heating up in the Jeffery Epstein case: “Federal court moves to unseal documents in Jeffrey Epstein scandal” https://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article227411649.html.
I recall back when this was all going on, there were some seriously big names implicated (IIRC, one of QE II’s sons was hinted). Given the super-sweet deal Epstein got–and which appears to be coming undone–there have to be some “VIPs” sweating a bit. Who knows, maybe this results in Price Club memberships for some prominent names, resulting in reassessing just how much “regulation” is needed.
C’mon aboard Dersh! We could use the legal help.
“Ex-priest accused of sex abuse found shot dead in home” Apparently, not being treated as a suicide but as a murder.
“The world is a safer place without him,” said Richard Fitter, a man who accused Capparelli of abuse, to The Star-Ledger after hearing about his death.
“Whatever led to his death, it’s a certain amount of karma.”
While we can’t attribute this to being on “the registry,” since he appears not to have been, the likelihood for his being murdered would have been even higher if he had been on it.

“Pennacchio [Republican State Senator, New Jersey] Introduces Bill to End Sanctuary State Protections for Sex Offenders”
So, like Pinnochio, Pennacchio seems to be daring the gods not to make his nose grow longer. To that end, this wooden puppet (in hopes of becoming U.S. Rep. Chris Smith’s real boy?) seems to be taking his cues from that odious (and notorious, if I might suggest) IML author with this bill by pretending that there is a crisis while creating an actual one – that of over-legislation.
Yet another “loophole” that we have been shamelessly exploiting, apparently: “Sex offenders should not be given safe harbor in New Jersey, just because the offense was committed in another country,” Pennacchio said. “New Jersey has a dangerous loophole, that allows illegal immigrants who are convicted or fleeing sex crime charges from another country to fly under the radar – and the State Attorney General’s recent Sanctuary State directive made this even worse.”

A quick update on the Millard (10th CCoA) case. On March 11, the RCs filed Supplemental Authority documents consisting of Muniz (PA SC) and Piasecki (recent 3rd CCoA habeus case). Still no Opinion, though.
JUST A FEW WORDS TO REMEMBER………. even then some people don’t and would not believe them “everyone makes mistakes in life,but that doesn’t mean they have to PAY for them the rest of their life,sometimes GOOD PEOPLE make BAD choices,it doesn’t mean they’re BAD…. it means they’re are HUMAN! just my humble opinion…

I feel like ending it all right now. I’ve been texting my son, and my sis. I’m done.
We discuss titles for those who are impacted by the registry from time to time, but it is addressed on the national office website today and is very good that maybe it should be here too:

Hang in there, buddy. Your son and sis love you, as do many others, I am sure. Keep on keeping on for them. You’ll thank yourself later. 🙂 Please hang in there!
