State v. Pratt

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of the prosecution because the State charged Pratt under the 2023 version of the registration statute, which the Court treated as punitive and unconstitutional when applied retroactively to convictions predating the 2007 amendments. The State could not rely on earlier statutory versions that it had not charged, and dismissal was therefore proper. The Court did not reach Pratt's restoration-of-rights argument.
