Quote of the week from Chris Conolly, Lauderdale County District Attorney

Chris Conolly admits the registry is punitive in the following article. For many years, Smith v.

Nearly a full decade later, it is obvious Emperor Megan has no clothes.

"She will have to register as a sex offender and that's a big ticket item obviously because that's a life sentence," said Chris Conolly, Lauderdale County District Attorney. "That's the community notification; that's quarterly registration; that's restrictions about employment and where she can live so that's a huge part of this agreement."

No matter what the judge orders, the district attorney says Allen must register as a sex offender.   A punishment Connolly says, will last a lifetime.
