Supreme Court of Delaware

Getz v. State

July 18, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Getz’s motion challenging his Tier III sex-offender registration and related parole conditions. It held that retroactive application of the registration requirements does not violate the ex post facto clause because the requirements are nonpunitive, that the governing statutes cover Getz’s 1989 conviction, and that the Board of Parole had authority to impose registration as a parole condition.
