Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Feb 16, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. LONNIE STULL TILTON, JR., Defendant-Appellant
Lonnie Stull Tilton, Jr. appealed his convictions for first-degree burglary and failure to register as a sexual offender, arguing insufficient evidence for both. For the burglary charge, he claimed the State failed to prove specific intent to steal. For the failure to register charge, he contended he was no longer required to register under the 2018 MO-SORA amendments. The Southern District of Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed both convictions, finding sufficient evidence for the burglary and that Tilton remained subject to lifetime registration under a catch-all provision related to federal law.
