Oregon Supreme Court
State v. A. R. H.
May 25, 2023371 Or. 82
Summary
The court held that the juvenile court's determination under ORS 163A.030(7)(b) is a factual finding whether the youth proved by clear and convincing evidence that he was rehabilitated and did not pose a threat of committing future sex offenses. Appellate review asks whether the record, including reasonable nonspeculative inferences, permitted the juvenile court's finding, and the record here permitted rejection of the youth's evidence. The court also upheld the statute against vagueness challenges and affirmed the order requiring sex-offender reporting.
