Young v. State

A jury convicted appellant for failure to comply with statutory sex offender registration requirements. While each element of an offense must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, an indictment may set forth alternate manners and means of committing a single offense, and the jury may return a general verdict for that offense if the evidence supports a conviction under any one of the manners or means alleged. Here, it was not error for the court to instruct the jury that it could convict for the single offense of failure to report a change in address by finding either that appellant failed to notify authorities of an intent to move or that he failed to notify authorities of his new address once he had already moved. Austin Court of Appeals, No. 03-09-00043-CR, 05-24-2010

OPINION

A jury convicted appellant Robert Alan Young for failure to comply with statutory sex offender registration requirements, see Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 62.055 (West Supp. 2009), 62.102 (West 2006), and the district court assessed punishment at ten years in prison. Young appeals based on his contention that, because the jury was charged disjunctively on two separate offenses, his conviction was based on a non-unanimous jury verdict in violation of both the Texas and United States constitutions. We affirm the judgment of conviction.

On June 22, 2001, Robert Alan Young was convicted of sexual assault, a reportable offense under chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. For six years after his conviction, Young complied with all reporting requirements.
