P. v. Singletary
Cary Odell Singletary was convicted of three counts of failing to register as a sex offender. (Pen. Code, 290.)[1] Two of the counts were based on his failure to register within five days of changing his residence ( 290, subd. (a)(1)(A)), and the other count was based on his failure to register within five days of his birthday ( 290, subd. (a)(1)(D)). Arguing his failure to register constituted a single continuing offense, he contends he should only have been convicted of and punished for one of the counts, not three. He also contends the courts definition of reasonable doubt was flawed, and its failure to define the term reside mandates reversal. Court reject his arguments and affirm the judgment in its entirety.
