Hollie v. State

N/A

OUTCOME: Affirmed, Cert. Granted

Defendant convicted of aggravated child molestation appealed trial court's sentence of lifetime participation in Georgia's sex offender registry because it exceeded the 30-year maximum sentence for the ... crime. Although the Court of Appeals affirmed the sentence, saying that participation in the registry was not a punishment, the Georgia Supreme Court granted certiorari on the issue, which was argued on January 12, 2010.
