State v. Obas

Summary

The court held that the statutory exemption from sex-offender registration may be sought and granted after registration has begun, provided the statutory eligibility criteria are satisfied. It also held that the defendant’s plea agreement did not clearly and unambiguously waive that statutory right merely by requiring ten years of registration, so the agreement was construed in the defendant’s favor. The court therefore affirmed the Appellate Court’s judgment upholding the exemption.
