People v. Maples

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of one count of tattooing the body of a minor. Because language in pertinent statute, as to a person licensed to practice medicine, was an exception to, as opposed to a description of, the offense of tattooing a minor, the State was not required to prove that Defendant did not have such a license. State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant knew that the victim was under age 18 when he tattooed her. (JORGENSEN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
