We recorded in front of a huge studio audience at the NARSOL conference in Houston, Texas.  It was a bit impromptu. But even with that, we had a fantastic audience! Thank you for joining us!

We talked about our initial impressions of the conference. We then moved into a few articles. We discussed things with the audience. And finally we had our weekly Scalia clip regarding the constitutionality of the death penalty. There may, or may not, be a conversation about shower heads.

It was really a very special time. We can’t thank you enough for your continued support. It is humbles us beyond words.

Today’s episode breaks down a developing case in Maryland that is headed for their highest court as well as U.S. District Court Judge gave the Michigan legislature until the end of August to revise the registry. But before that we deep dive into that, we cover Kamala Harris wants defenders to be paid as much as prosecutors; City in California decides to not enforce restrictions in lieu of lawsuits; With the surging economy, formerly incarcerated folks are finding getting jobs easier; Community wants to boycott pizzeria owned by registrant; Arizona prison bans book, ACLU sues; Man held in isolation for over half his life dies; Illinois registry filled with erroneous addresses;

In the main segment, Larry goes into great detail regarding the teen with selfie video for distributing CP (of herself???). And then tackles the late breaking news that the judge giving a time limit on Michigan to deal with their registry. Where do we go from here?

This weeks episode dives into a decision out of Massachusetts that is poised to release a man convicted over 40 years ago, and has since been civilly committed. This is a fascinating legal read and Larry gives us the run down.

We begin however with the important news items related to the registry starting with a listener question regarding registrants using Facebook and other social media; Then an article from The Atlantic which talks about law enforcement not being particularly happy about being profiled by computers, but are happy to use the tool themselves; A registrant in California who did not commit a sexual offense, but is on the registry; A bill in Louisiana could make it a crime for defense attorneys to do their job; Some legal theory behind our two newest SCOTUS justices; More bills are being passed extending statute of limitations; SCOTUS justices are defending the recent inconsistent decisions to stop / allow executions to move forward; Professor that stepped up to help Harvey Weinstein removed from deanship; Oklahoma house passes a pretty large criminal justice reform bill; And finally, Larry goes into detail about the man being released from civil commitment

We were joined by Guy Hamilton Smith on this episode of Registry Matters! Guy brings an incredibly insightful point of view about the policies surrounding the registry.  We cover a listener question about being coerced into taking a polygraph – can you refuse and what would happen if you did so; A man with terminal cancer won’t die soon enough to receive compassionate relief; Of course we need a new registry – Michigan proposes a child abuse registry; Inmates in Alabama are shackled to buckets for days to eliminate contraband; Legislation by Lauren Book in Florida would create a registry for those who pay for sex; Senators in Arizona stop bill giving more rights to sex abuse victims;

In this Diamond edition of Registry Matters, we tackle two listener questions and have a theatrical reading; Shocker: no evidence supporting the efficacy of the registry; Presidential politicians suggest giving all citizens the right to vote – even ones that we don’t like; Alabama prisons are not safe for anyone: staff or inmates; Kentucky teen pleads guilty for arson and murder of man on the registry; Amazon facial recognition is an unrestrained tool for law enforcement; Prison in Tennessee, run by CoreCivic, has a poor track record of inmate safety; Legislature in Florida does not want certain people to vote; Federal judge overturns conviction on ex post facto grounds; Florida set to pass law prohibiting acts with obscene or lewd materials; VA Governor will not sign any new laws with mandatory minimums.

In this first episode of April, we received a large amount of questions and voicemail; we cover a news item that shows strong support for people using or purchasing products that hire formerly incarcerated people; A man in Missouri soon to be executed requested a different method of execution, and SCOTUS denied it – the 8th Amendment doesn’t guarantee a painless death, but does prevent there from being a more painful death; And how inconsistent we are with providing a religious advisor at an execution based on different religions; Instead of revealing the software tools being used, prosecutors drop charges after being questioned; College student sentenced to 12 years in prison and he says he didn’t do it; Another shocker, Alabama prison has “Horrendously inadequate” medical treatment; Decision from Illinois where individuals are held past their release date, thus violating their constitutional rights.
