Genarlow Wilson likely getting out of jail
 

He's the (black) Georgia high school football player who was sentenced to 10 years for having consensual oral sex with a (white) 15 year old girl. He was 17 at the time.

There was a thread on it in January: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...age=0&vc=1

I heard on the radio today that a judge ruled to release Wilson, saying that the punishment was "simply too harsh." The decision was made earlier this morning so I haven't found any articles online about it yet. But there should be in a few hours.

The state is going to appeal, so he's still in jail for the time being, but it looks like he's finally getting out.

Story just hit ESPN.com, and I just have to say its about damn time.

The fact that the state is appealing this desicion is mind boggling. They just can't seem to admit how wrong they are, when it is obvious to everyone else.

If I am him, the only thing I am thinking about is what type of machine I am going to use.

Seriously. This kid's life is ruined. I'd like to know how many of those "law makers" got their knob shlobbed when they were teenagers.

In the words of Guy Incognito, "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if our nation's high school seniors aren't free to spend all their time trying to get knob-shines from sophomores, we might as well burn the Constitution right now."

Seriously, people lose their [censored] minds when they become authority figures. I can't think of a single motive to keep this kid in jail besides simple race hatred and / or the worship of state power.

"Defense attorney B.J. Bernstein noted in a hearing last week that state lawmakers passed a law to close the loophole that led to Wilson's sentence."

Seems natural to hire a defense attorney named BJ.

This level of zeal seems to be standard among state prosecutors.
