What does THAT have to do with registering? It's called the Bill of Rights. Ex Post Facto. You can't pass a law and then apply it retroactively.

He couldn't have committed the crime THAT long ago. He was just sentenced for it on Monday. Surely if he had committed it in the 80's than your reasoning would apply but I find it hard to believe that he committed the crime THAT LONG AGO and only sentenced NOW. I know the court system is slow but OVER TWENTY YEARS to be sentenced?
