Genarlow Wilson ordered released by Georgia Supreme Court

I am amazed that any of these judges would not see this as cruel and unusual punishment. I don't necessarily fault prosecutors who are doing their job to uphold the law - through their motive could be bias as well - but how can anybody not find it cruel and unusual punishment to sentence a 17 year old for 10 years for having CONSENSUAL oral sex with a 15 year old? Ten years. Unbelievable.

No way in hell would they have done that to a woman. No way. Even ADULT female teachers get off with no jail time for having sex with 15 year olds. But ten years to this guy. Amazing.

You won't see the feminist klan rallying against the injustices brought on to this man...
why???...because they built the cultural klan type hysteria that lynches men like this all the time!!

Constant exposure to rape agit-prop...churnes out a society Klan like mentality, thats foaming at the mouth lynch another man..

I realize this letter is going to sound incredible, but this is really happening to our family.

My son is currently 18 years old as of July 6th. He graduated from High School and is attending Lansing Community College, where he had been awarded a technology scholarship. He is a young good looking biracial man. For all intents and purposes I am aware that he is black, although to me, he is simply my son.

He has been charged with 7 felony counts of criminal sexual conduct 3rd degree, alleging consensual sexual relations with 3 females under the age of 16. The first female has four counts, the second female has 1 count, the third female has 2 counts. All three are now 16 years old.

This set of charges started in February of 2007. The original police report and statement has in writing two things that I find to be contradictory to what he is facing. The mother pushed the charges for the first female. In the report the mother states that she took her daughter to the doctor to be placed on birth control. The first female states that she had was willing and wanted my son to do everything that they did. I think it is very hypocritical that a mother would take her daughter to put her on birth control – because she knew her daughter was having sex, but then press charges when she found out it was a black male.

We refused to allow our son to speak with the police. We immediately hired Grewal and Associates. Although the first female had multiple sexual partners, the Meridian township police did not pursue any other individuals. The police also showed up to our home to arrest my son, and he was not home, but my 12 year old daughter was there, and they yelled at her, threatened her with arrest while accusing her of lying, and she was thought they were going to pull a gun on her. She was terrified. She is an honor roll student, a star athlete, a great child, an international student ambassador, and she was absolutely mistreated for no reason.

The Meridian township police then began investigating and digging into every aspect of my son’s life. They contacted any and every friend and female he knew and threatened them and some of their parents.

Now after all this time has gone by, he is facing 105 years and the sex offender registry for having consensual relationships.

The second female alleging contact is the intimate girlfriend of the first female and she is alleging one count of contact. She also has had multiple white sexual partners, none of which are facing charges.

The third female alleging contact was one month from her 16th birthday when she alleges that there was contact. Additionally, she had been to our house, and told both my husband and I she was 16 and that they were only friends there was no other relationship, because I grilled her due to the way the police were digging into my son’s life. This female has also had numerous white sexual partners – and again – none of them are facing charges.

I have followed many cases nationally, and locally. I realize that today Genarlow Wilson was ordered to be freed by the Georgia State Supreme Court, stating that his punishment was cruel and unusual. Here in Michigan, numerous cases have come and gone without this kind of treatment or the severity of the charges. A 35 year old white male took a 13 year old across state lines after meeting her on myspace, but due to the fact that her myspace said she was 16 – he was not prosecuted. All 3 of these females have said they were 16, and my son was not yet 18. He was not old enough to vote, buy cigarettes, buy a lottery ticket, or even sign a contract, yet he is old enough to be charged as an adult and face 105 years because these females lied to him about their age, and he was allegedly involved in consensual relationships.

I can not understand this, and every person I have talked with is saying they can’t believe it, and it is a horrible miscarriage of justice.

My son needs help. Please contact us back and let us know if you can help him in any way.

Thank you for your time,

I wonder if these fu**ers will try to appeal this to the Supreme Court to save face.

I hear you; I would love to read the opinion of those three justices who think this is OK. I'd bet their opinion is short and basically just upholds the lower court without much comment. Or, some bullshit like "It's the legislature perogative to repeal this law or not".

Jesus it's scary with how political "sex crimes" cases are.

I just bet he still has to be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life. His felony conviction was not overturned. He was just released because of technicalities concerning the severity of the sentence and time already served. He is still an ex-con with a history of a sexual offense against a "child".

Can he even live within 2000 feet of a park?

If he were a little further south in Florida he'd probably have to live under a bridge.

I'd imagine Georgia is at least as bad as Florida so he probably will end up with no fixed address unless he has some relative out in the woods somewhere he can live with.
