This week on Registry Matters: Mississippi legislators push a bill imposing the death penalty for child sexual battery — a penalty they know is unconstitutional — in a deliberate attempt to challenge Supreme Court precedent. Also on the docket, North Carolina’s court upholds mandatory online identifier reporting for registrants, a college basketball star’s own phone evidence leads to felony drug charges, and an inmate tries to pay his court bond with counterfeit bills and tells the judge to keep the change.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.
To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
