Whether an adult felony conviction under Ohio's failure to register statute violates due process and jury trial rights
Questions Presented Whether an adult felony conviction under Ohio’s failure to register statute, | Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2950.04, violates a defendant’s due process and jury trial | rights under the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States | Constitution, where the defendant’s duty to register arises from a civil judicial factfinding court order and a non-jury juvenile delinquency adjudication? Whether juvenile adjudications, which do not provide for a right to a jury | trial, may serve as an element of a felony offense in Ohio’s failure to register statute, Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2950.04, 2950.06 under the Fifth, Sixth, and | Fourteenth Amendments, United States Constitution? : Whether due process under the Fourteenth Amendment allows a juvenile adjudication, which is not submitted to a jury, to qualify as a “prior conviction” which is therefore not required to be submitted to a jury and determined beyond a reasonable doubt? | | | [ | i i | | Page No.
