They could convict kobe of running a lemonade stand on a sunny day and it would not matter if he has to register....
The part about the Levin bit on Good Day Live that I didn't post is that Levin seemed to think that they presented the issue to the trial court judge who was ammenable to a plea.
Levin seemed to think that they can get around the sex offender registry law (presumably if the judge signed off on it).
