(i) the finding of guilt is quashed or set aside by a court; or
(ii) the person’s sentence for the offence is reduced or
otherwise amended on appeal so that the person would
have been a person mentioned in section 9 (1) (b) or (c)
had the amended sentence been the original sentence; or

(2) However, the person does not stop being a registrable offender under
subsection (1) (a) (i) if the court orders that the person be retried for
