Case Notes

Failure to Report Found.

Circuit court did not err in finding that defendant violated the terms and conditions of his suspended imposition of sentence by committing the new offense of failing to register as a sex offender after he was released from incarceration; although defendant objected to the Arkansas Crime Information Center documents when the documents were introduced, he did not raise the Confrontation Clause basis for objection until after the evidence had been introduced and the State had rested its case and therefore that argument was waived. Allen v. State, 2020 Ark. App. 84, 596 S.W.3d 518 (2020).

Strict Liability Offense.

Because the failure to register as a sex offender was a strict liability offense under § 12-12-901 et seq. and the state proved that defendant was required to register but failed to do so, the trial court did not err by denying defendant's motion for a directed verdict. Adkins v. State, 371 Ark. 159, 264 S.W.3d 523 (2007).
