State v Kenneth Dale Stark
Kenneth Dale Stark appeals his conviction on two counts of loitering in a community safety zone in violation of SDCL 22-24B-24. Stark appeals, raising four issues:
- (1) that the South Dakota statutes prohibiting sex offenders from loitering in a community safety zone are unconstitutional;
- (2) that the trial court erred by allowing the State to amend the Part II Information to include the correct location of his prior felony conviction;
- (3) that there was insufficient evidence to establish that his primary purpose for remaining in the community safety zone was to observe or contact minors; and
- (4) that the trial court abused its discretion by admitting evidence that an individual in a white mini-van registered to him was seen in a community safety zone the day before the charged conduct occurred.
