Supreme Court of North Carolina

State v. Lamp

December 16, 2022

Summary

The Court held that the statute requires a registrant to report an address that has not previously been reported, even if the registrant has moved again before reporting it. It nevertheless held that the State presented insufficient evidence from which a jury could reasonably infer that defendant willfully submitted the address under false pretenses. The Court reversed and remanded for vacation of defendant's registry conviction and the resulting habitual-felon judgment.
