People v. Scott

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of failure to register as a sex offender. The lack of a fixed residence is not an element of the crime. Defendant did not register a fixed residence and thus acquiesced to the weekly reporting requirement, which is the most onerous registration requirement. Thus, State did not have to prove Defendant lacked a fixed residence. Fines, which were not imposed by court and which were improperly assessed by circuit clerk, are vacated.(STEIGMANN and APPLETON, concurring.)
