"name": "Can states impose the death penalty for child sexual battery?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Under current Supreme Court precedent, no. In *Kennedy v. Louisiana* (2008), the Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional for crimes against individuals that do not result in death. Mississippi legislators have introduced a bill proposing death for child sexual battery, but they acknowledge it is unconstitutional and are using the bill as a deliberate attempt to challenge that precedent."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Do sex offenders have to report their social media usernames to law enforcement?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "In some states, yes. North Carolina requires registered sex offenders to report all online identifiers to the sheriff, and a state court recently upheld this requirement as constitutional under intermediate scrutiny. The court found the reporting obligation serves a legitimate government interest without violating First Amendment rights."

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "An Alabama college basketball star faced serious felony drug charges after evidence found on his own phone linked him to illegal activity. The case highlights how digital carelessness — including data stored on personal devices — can be used as evidence leading to criminal prosecution."
}

{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can you pay a court bond with counterfeit money?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No, and attempting to do so will result in additional criminal charges. In a recent case, an inmate tried to pay his court bond with counterfeit bills and told the judge to keep the change, adding to his legal troubles rather than resolving them."
}

{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is the death penalty for non-homicide crimes constitutional?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty is unconstitutional for crimes against individuals where the victim is not killed, based on the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Mississippi's recent bill proposing capital punishment for child sexual battery is a deliberate legislative effort to bring a new challenge before the Court and potentially overturn that precedent."

This week on Registry Matters: Mississippi legislators push a bill imposing the death penalty for child sexual battery — a penalty they know is unconstitutional — in a deliberate attempt to challenge Supreme Court precedent. Also on the docket, North Carolina’s court upholds mandatory online identifier reporting for registrants, a college basketball star’s own phone evidence leads to felony drug charges, and an inmate tries to pay his court bond with counterfeit bills and tells the judge to keep the change.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.
To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
