Genarlow Wilson: A young man of courage and principle wins in Georgia

After many years fighting charges he incurred by a zealous District Attorney relentless prosecution in Georgia of this 17 year old young man, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled to day that he must be set free. Free at last, free at last, thank God he will be free at last!

As a 17 year old, Genarlow had consensual oral sex with a 15 year old. But when they put him in jail he would not cop a plea on a lesser charge and get only a 1 year term, as he didn't want his life labeled as a sex offender. He has been fighting the charges on principle. He has been in jail on a 10 year sentence and is now 21 years old. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled in favor of this young man and in their ruling said he had faced cruel and unusual punishment for this so called crime at the time he was 17. Amen! I am hoping his attorney files charges against the State and gets this young man millions of dollars in compensation and to teach local officials there is a cost for this inappropriate prosecution.

Watch Rush Limbaugh say on his radio show he should have stayed in jail and that the prosecution was correct because it was a split decision.
