A Douglas County, Nebraska, jury deliberated for only an hour before acquitting a registered citizen who was charged with failure to register.
The verdict came on Thursday, Oct. 9, when the jury agreed with the defense that registry forms are unclear and the law is confusing.
Failure to register is a phonied-up non-sex-offense designed to trap people into technical violations of overly complex laws in order to feed to the sex-offender industry’s demand for inmates. Good to know that at least one jury gets it.
