Courts - "Ohio Supreme Court finds new Ohio SORNA-compliant sex offender requirements punitive"

Sentencing Law & Policy has the decision here. The intro:

In a ruling with potential national implications even though based only on state law, the Ohio Supreme Court this morning in a 5-2 opinion decided that the state's new sex offender registration requirements were punitive and thus could not, as a matter of Ohio state constitutional law, be applied to offenders who committed offenses before this new registration law was put into effect.
