Supreme Court of Arkansas
State v. Khabeer
March 13, 20142014 Ark. 107
Summary
The court affirmed the termination of Samuel Khabeer’s sex-offender-registration obligation because the circuit court did not clearly err in finding that he was not likely to pose a threat to the safety of others. The court held that Khabeer’s testimony, together with the circuit court’s credibility assessment, was sufficient to satisfy the statutory preponderance-of-the-evidence requirement. The court also treated the proceeding as civil and collateral despite its criminal docket designation.
