There is no way this kid should serve 10 fucking years for having consensual oral sex with someone 2 years younger than him....They lightened his sentence, but he still has to stay in prison while prosecuters appeals. Even President Jimmy Carter sides with the boy. Crazy

Yeah, I've read some news on this case off and on. They changed the law so that such a grossly disproportionate sentence doesn't happen again, but they said the law couldn't be applied retroactively.

If they decriminalize something, they can't review past cases to let someone out? That makes no sense. I saw something about this case last week. Poor kid. He should've just done it like normal so he could get no time.

did you guys read the article??
QUOTE The judge in his ruling Monday (TODAY) threw out Genarlow Wilson's 10-year sentence and amended it to misdemeanor aggravated child molestation with a 12-month term, plus credit for time served.
... Wilson's original sentence, for aggravated child molestation, was widely criticized on the grounds it was grossly disproportionate to the crime. State lawmakers later passed a law to close the loophole that led to the 10-year term. "I just feel like a miracle happened," said Wilson's mother, Juannessa Bennett. |

QUOTE Although the sex act was consensual, it was illegal under Georgia law. QUOTE (pysex @ Jun 11 2007, 01:47 PM) and that it was consensual so the whole case seems rather pointless the point is that Georgia's law should be changed it WAS changed  geezus that's the whole point of the article. READ. look at the title of the article for Christ's sakeQUOTE state lawmakers voted to close the loophole that led to his 10-year term.

the loophole that allowed the prosecution to pursue a maximum penalty of 10 years....
it's still a crime -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."
