Ga. High Court Hears Consensual Teen Sex Case
(CBS News) ATLANTA The courtroom was packed with supporters and cameras Friday as Georgia's top justices heard arguments over whether a young man serving a 10-year prison term for consensual oral sex with a fellow teenager should be freed.The long punishment spurred angry protests and led the state to change the sentencing law. A state judge in June ordered the young man freed, but because of an appeal by the state attorney general, Genarlow Wilson remains behind bars.
There are (at least)two questions that must be asked
WHY WASN'T THIS HEARING REPORTED IN LA TIMES?
WHY HAS NO DECISION BEEN MADE REGARDING THIS MATTER?
I had to go on line to follow up on the July 20 hearing, after looking for the story in my paper, The LA TIMES every day since the hearing....and much worst than that obvious oversite is the fact that......today is July 28 and no decision has been reached in this case.
The Georgia High Court has probably been more aware of this case than most cases that get presented and the fact that eight days later there is no answer from them, really makes me wonder how goofy their legal system must be....or beyond goofy, but that's another story.
Keep in mind....this is about oral sex between a 17 year old boy and a 15 year old girl. CONSENSUAL ORAL SEX.
10 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR CONSENSUAL ORAL SEX BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
There's been no report on what the girl's sentence was, but this is probably one of those times when it really is better to give than receive.
I wonder if Genarlow has a My Space site....or a Facebook page.....or a web site of some kind. I wonder if he has an e-mail address and I wonder if anyone has bought the domain name of Genarlow Wilson.com???????????????????????
So many questions.....so few answers.
JUSTICE MIGHT HAVE TAKEN A VACATION ON THIS CASE....and one of the strange revelations comes from the mouth of the Attorney General.
"If we free Mr. Wilson....we will help free the 1300 child molesters that are in Georgia prisons."
WHY IN GOD'S NAME WOULD ONE THING HAVE TO DO WITH ANOTHER?
I realize that when it comes to law then precedents get set and cases are resolved from precedents...but if each and every case involves an individual then individual facts pertain and if anyone is in prison for having CONSENSUAL ORAL SEX when under the age of 18....THEN THEY SHOULD ALSO BE RELEASED.
Bu t I highly doubt that there is another case like this sitting on the books.
IF THERE IS ANOTHER CASE LIKE THIS.....THEN SOME ATTORNEY IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB REPRESENTING THEIR CLIENT.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANOTHER CASE LIKE THIS ON THE BOOKS IN GEORGIA.
I THINK THIS CASE STANDS ALONE AND MAKING A DECISION ON THIS CASE SHOULD NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER PRISONER.
AND IF LAW CAN'T SEPARATE FACTS FROM ONE CASE TO THE NEXT, THEN WHAT GOOD IS LAW.....ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT PARTICULAR LAW IS A BAD LAW.
WHICH IT TURNS OUT WAS A BAD LAW....BECAUSE THE STATE OF GEORGIA CHANGED THE LAW AFTER THIS CASE.
BUT DECIDED NOT TO MAKE IT RETRO-ACTIVE.
EACH PERSON DESERVES SINGULAR ATTENTION WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING TO FACE THE COURT SYSTEMS OF AMERICA.
OUR LEGAL SYSTEM IS BUILT ON THIS CONCEPT.
THE FACT THAT GENARLOW WILSON IS REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY NAMED...........B.J. BERNSTEIN......adds an element to this that can't be readily explained.
Did the family of Genarlow Wilson pause just a sec..... when B.J. first introduced himself?
It had to be a moment of reflection and or......HUH?
B.J. BERNSTEIN DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE'S GETTING THE JOB DONE....AND HOPEFULLY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS NAME BUT WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THIS CASE FROM THE BEGINNING...ONE SIMPLY WONDERS....
HOW GOOFY IS THE GEORGIA LEGAL SYSTEM?
and then the next question....how goofy is our entire legal system?
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN PRISON FOR GOOFY REASONS?
GOOFY CAN BE DEFINED AS....
Prison terms for smoking pot
Prison terms for personally taking any drug
Prison terms for any consensual sex between adults
Prison terms for any consensual sex between two people under the age of 18
I still hear stories about Texas and people in prison for smoking pot.
But
Texas might be another country so I won't go there right now.
GOOFY IS GOOFY
and somehow a new law should get passed on a national level.
GOOFY CRIMES CANNOT RESULT IN PRISON TERMS
maybe some community service.....but never prison
NEVER
now the fun part would be conducting a national forum to determine exactly what A GOOFY CRIME is......
I read about certain laws in certain states that I'm really think are "joke bits" and then I find out that they really do exist.
WHY WOULD STATES NOT UPDATE THEIR LEGAL SYSTEMS?
ARE THEY TOO BUSY TRYING TO ENFORCE GOOFY LAWS TO DEAL WITH PRACTICAL MATTERS....SUCH AS GETTING RID OF LAWS THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED TO PUNISH THE WITCHES OF SALEM?
AND THAT MIGHT SOUND GOOFY TO YOU BUT GOOFY IS HAS GOOFY DOES AND GOOFY BEHAVIOR SEEMS TO BE EVERYWHERE.
BUT WHEN LAWS ARE GOOFY....IT UNDERMINES THE SOUL OF AMERICA AND MAKES EVERYBODY JUST SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND WONDER.
B.J. BERNSTEIN representing Genarlow Wislon might be beyond goofy....it might be somebodies idea of a joke.
Please don't tell me this is the court appointed attorney for Mr. Wilson......I don't think I could deal with that.
BEYOND GOOFY means something bordering on the edge of evil. And please note that I believe EVIL is a human characteristic.......
WHICH BRINGS ME TO
NEO-ILLUMINATION #13....................
THE EXISTENCE OF EVIL
MIGHT BE
ENTIRELY BASED
IN
HUMAN PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR
IF THAT IS TRUE
THEN ANY NEGATIVE AFTERLIFE
EXPERIENCE
WOULD SEEM LIKE
EXCESSIVE
BEHAVIOR
ON
THE
PART
OF
THE CREATOR
