Sentencing; Lifetime sex offender registration; Cruel & unusual punishment; People v Kardasz; People v Malone; People v Spencer; People v O’Connor

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the Court of Appeals judgment (see eJournal # 79269 in the 4/18/23 edition) and remanded the case to that court. It directed the Court of Appeals to hold the case in abeyance pending its decisions in Malone, Spencer, and O’Connor. After the Court of Appeals decides those cases, it is to “reconsider this case in light of Kardasz and the decisions in Malone, Spencer, and O’Connor.”
