This is the case that many sex offenders in Oklahoma have been waiting for.

Basically if the Supreme Court rules in the sex offenders' favor, all sex offenders that were convicted before 2007 and have completed 10 years registration would be off the registry.
Of course, the legislature passed a law recently that anyone wanting off the registry for any reason must get a court order.
But still, this will potentially take hundreds off the registry in Oklahoma.
Here is how other courts in Oklahoma have already ruled on this matter:
Two different courts, acting as one voice, ruled already on two similar cases -- and the offenders won.
In October 2010, the Court of Criminal Appeals -- the highest court for criminal cases -- ruled for a registered offender from Roger Mills County who had been charged with "failure to register."
In June, the Court of Civil Appeals ruled in favor of a Bethany offender who was already off the registry list but who had been ordered to move away from a school.
In each case, the courts ruled that sex offender laws could not be applied retroactively.

If nothing else, it should give hope to registrants of other states.
