People v. Cohn

Defendant, a registered sex offender, failed to report to and register with a law enforcement agency within 90 days of his previous registration. Indictment for this violation contained typographical error citing wrong section of Sex Offender Registration Act. Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, and sentenced to five years. Language of indictment made clear Defendant was being charged under correct section of Act. Sentence not unduly harsh, as Defendant had twice previously been convicted of same failure to register, and sentence fell within permissible range. Consideration of Defendant's criminal history in general was appropriate and did not result in improper double enhancement. (CARTER, concurring; SCHMIDT, specially concurring.)
