The circuit court had determined Carr was a Tier III sex offender under the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), requiring lifetime registration. The appellate court reversed, holding that the circuit court erred by applying a \"circumstances-specific\" approach instead of the \"categorical approach\" to determine Carr's tier, and that Carr was not a Tier III offender. Furthermore, the court found Carr was never subject to a SORNA registration obligation because his registration period expired before SORNA became applicable to pre-enactment offenders.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","other","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=130695","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/derrick-maurice-carr-v-missouri-attorney-general-office-d80727","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
