Attorneys Challenge State Sex Offender Law
Oklahoma City - Attorneys for three men who are challenging Oklahoma's sex offender registry laws say they are a form of punishment and are unconstitutional.
The attorneys made the charges on Tuesday during oral arguments before the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Their clients were convicted of various sex crimes in other states and want to stop the state from placing their names on the sex offender registry.
Each case challenges the state's attempt to make its sex offender registration rules retroactive.
Two of the men claim they are exempt from the rules because their crimes pre-date the creation of the registry in 1989. The other was required to register for 10 years when he was sentenced and is challenging the state's attempt to make him register longer following legislative amendments to the registry rules.

Moore post office service increases; streets open
May 24, 2013 17:29 GMT
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Public agencies in Moore have opened streets to residents and resumed mail delivery to as many addresses as possible.
At a news conference Friday, police said residents in the hardest-hit areas can go back into their neighborhoods without having to deal with police checkpoints. Some road closures may still occur as utility crews work to restore service.
Moore's postmaster said 85 percent of mail delivered from the Moore station is being delivered, and that mail deliveries from the Santa Fe station are up to 95 percent.
For those whose mail is not being delivered, those with ZIP codes 73153 and 73160 can pick up mail at the Airport Finance unit on Air Cargo Road.
Those in ZIP code 73170 can go to the Santa Fe station for their mail.
