People v. Burchell

Section 3(a) of  Sex Offender Registration Act requires a 3-consecutive-day temporary absence as the trigger for the notification requirement. A charge under Section 3(a) that is couched in language of Section 3(a) is insufficient and facts that constitute the alleged crime are required to be specifically set forth. THe instrument here alleged that Defendant was temporarily absent for 3 or more days during 3 month period did not contain sufficient particularity to allow Defendant to prepare a defense. (WELCH and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
