DA appalled at ruling that frees man | Western Colorado | gjsentinel.com

I include this case for the rather bizarre circumstances surrounding the overall outcome which is still in motion.  Initially McFadden had his 316-year conviction vacated on a technicality.

A man sentenced to more than 300 years for violent sex offenses against children was freed from prison on Tuesday after a court determined his right to a speedy trial had been violated.

The appellate court ruling, which was allowed to stand by the Colorado Supreme Court, found that the trial was delayed beyond Colorado's speedy-trial requirements.

Michael McFadden, 46, was released from the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility. There is no requirement that he register as a sex offender.

"We are without remedy," Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein said. "The thing that is so frustrating is that everybody agrees that every decision was made to the benefit of protecting (McFadden's) right to a speedy trial."

Upon release, while sex registry was not required in the above case, he was required to register as a sex offender in an unrelated case:

Authorities learned on Thursday McFadden still had to register as a sex offender for a prior sexual assault on a child sentence in 1990. An arrest warrant was issued. He was arrested at the El Paso County Department of Human Services at about 4:30 in the afternoon on Friday. According to the jail's inmate search, he is being held there now on a $1,000 bond.
