## Opinion text

SMITH, Presiding Judge,
specially concurring.
§1 I agree that the conviction and sentence in the case should be affirmed. I write separately to, again, state my belief that sex offender registration amounts to punishment. Bingley v. State, F-2013-203 (Okl.Cr. Dec. 19, 2014) (Smith, V.P.J., concurring in part, dissenting in part), I continue to believe that information with regard to sex offender registration can, and does, affect the punishment recommended by a jury. I would hold that trial courts should instruct jurors, where appropriate, that a defendant will be required to register as a sex offender.
12 However, the failure to do so did not affect the sentence in this case.
