Richard Morrow, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Morrow’s conviction for failing to comply with sex-offender registration and reporting requirements. It held that the offense is one of strict liability, so the State was not required to prove that Morrow knowingly violated the registration statute, and it further held that substantial evidence supported the finding that Morrow reported a nonexistent address to law enforcement. The court declined to change its prior interpretation because the legislature had not added a culpable-mental-state requirement.
