After serving two years of that ridiculous sentence, the Georgia Supreme court ruled 3-4 that the sentence was 'cruel and unusal punishment'. All that means is that if one judge had decided differently, Genarlow Wilson would probably *still* be in jail watching Levi Johnston hob nob at the Republican convention. He definitely would have had Georgia Republican legislator, Eric Johnson had his way. Johnson, who withdrew his support from a bill introduced in the Georgia assembly to free Genarlow based on the jacked-upness of his sentence, explained his decision this way:
'Life comes with accountability for our decisions. Genarlow Wilson could have selected different friends to hang with. He could have joined millions of law-abiding teens all over the country enjoying New Years' Eve without alcohol, drugs and sex. He could have left the hotel when "the fun" started. He didn't. He made a choice. Now his life has changed forever'
Now I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between these two, hormonally-overcharged young men that would cause such a disparate outcome but you can be sure that ol Ty will be on the case to find out. And while I'm wondering - how come you don't see too many folks who look like Genarlow at the Republican convention? Lot of folks that look like Levi though...
Peace@Least,
