United States, 588 U.S. ___ (2019), with respect to the presumption in favor of "scienter" and a finding of a "knowing" mens rea? Specifically, whether both the First Circuit and district court erred in finding a violation of supervised release when the defendant reported to register per the requirements of SORNA within 24 hours of release from incarceration, but reported to the wrong county Sheriff's office in rural Maine.
