Miscellaneous

This seems to be all I blog about anymore. I’ll have to change that.

Two new opinons today. One upholding the payment of meterial witness fees of $40 per day to a person who was held in jail as a material witness for 53 days. He argued that he should have gotten the equivalent of minimum wage each day. The Court declined to go there.

The other was another challenge to the prohibition against sex offenders living within 2000 feet of daycares and preschools. The Defendant argued that his moving from his old residence to his new (which was within 2000 feet of something) was allowed under the grandfather clause of the statute. The Court decided that the grandfather clause only allowed those living within the 2000 foot radius to continue living in the same place. It does not allow them to move from one place to the next. I don’t exactly understand the Attorney General’s take on this. Perhaps it was the C0unty Attorneys, I guess, but they agreed with the Defendant that the statute was vague. The Court decided it’s not.

Anyway, more fun to come, I’m sure.
