The question here is amid the great news this gentleman received is “Why did she NOT strike the law as is?” She should have. There are other examples of such striking. Is it regional thinking? Why would she do that as a federally appointed judge? That needs to be asked of her.

Registration should END when Probation ends. PERIOD.
