Like Tupac said, "Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other".
Except it's ALL poor people, and "Guns" in this case would be a metaphor for hate.

Frankly, I did not believe this fellow would still be in jail at this point. This is appalling.
Just sent a note off to the Gov. of Georgia. It may not be much, but it can't hurt either:

If you think this boy's prison term is too harsh, consider shooting a note. (And Frem, I'm clear you are going well beyond this, but figured I'd post it up for folks who felt the desire to do 'something')

Hey, the more thumbs on these falsely pious SOBs the better - every bit helps and I want em sweatin it, and sweatin it good, I want em to realize it's NOT just gonna blow over if they lay low for a while.
Everyone else should bitch at the Governor too, cause he can commute/pardon - it's good enough for Libby, it's good enough for Wilson, right ?

Oh damn! See I *knew* something seemed fishy! Why the hell would some kid get 10 years for that?
Hmm. Maybe cuz the judge is a racist pig?

Nah, the Judge actually wanted to pitch it, or at least cut down the sentance, but was straighjacketed by mandatory sentencing rules.
Heck, even the guy who WROTE the law said this was a misuse and misinterpretation of it.
And the Jury, being misinformed, and vaguely threatened, as they always are these days, felt they were risking obstruction and contempt charges to do anything but rubberstamp a guilty verdict for the prosecutor.
(more commentary on this above in previous posts)
So it boils down to the prosecutor, who is also black, who has apparently run with this ball for personal reasons outside the scope of his office and the case in question - to the point of threatening the girl and her mother, demanding they commit perjury, and mailing unsolicited copies of the tape to politically-involved folk, and then blackmailing them into supporting his end of the case with their possession and viewing of said tape....
AND this prosecutor has a nasty history of conflict of interest, sexual misconduct and other bad habits besides that.
His name is David McDade, and he deserves to be disbarred, fired, charged and if convicted, imprisoned.
Race and religion aside, the core of this seems a personal vendetta between McDade and Wilson, and McDade misused his office, the court, and our legal system to settle it to his benefit.
Go back and read through the thread carefully, it'll be informative.

This just in.
Apparently Andre got his hands on an admission that McDade not only cannot account for all the tapes, but also sent some AFTER he was informed it was illegal to do so.

I have a lot of respect for US Postal Inspectors, as their efficiency and effectiveness are what drove predators to the internet in an effort to avoid them, and if McDade shipped that material via USPS, especially AFTER being told it was illegal, he's gonna have some Postal Inspectors all up in his ass too.
As for how many of em were unsolicited, prolly no knowing that, but there's evidence of one, and one is enough - especially with him admitting he cannot account for all the copies.
Not done with you Dave, not by a long shot...

Hey Frem. Any new news on this? I haven't heard anything myself. Somebody at work was just asking me if I heard about this story and I thought it was good that it's finally getting exposure where somebody would be asking me about it.

Oh, you mighta missed it with your schedule and all, Jack.
Wilson walked on October 26, 2007, they ruled 4-3 on it and booted him from slam later that day.

If you mean more recent and specific updates ?
Ain't been posting em cause not many seem to give a damn about much beyond their own personal feuds around here no more.. but sure, ok.
We're still all up in McDades ass, and bent the Parole board a bit on the rest of the poor sodders who didn't have the media and political support Wilson did, Williams got sprung last April, and we finally cracked em this past week on most of the rest, getting Willis out this Wendsday past, followed speedily by Barnwell and Robinson on Friday.

That leaves just Henry, but that part of the case is a bit more messy...
And a big shout out for BJ (Wilsons Lawyer), who's one tough chick under all that sweetness.

And one even for that bastard Sharpton, cause he has indeed been helpful, not just on Wilson, but on the rest of them, too, allowing his office personnel to volunteer their time on this as they wished, and putting a quiet word or two in the right ears when he saw an opportunity where it might do some good - strangely, without so much of the media grandstanding, neither, so he's bought himself a bit of "cred" with me should he need it down the road, cause I pay my debts.
McDade is, unfortunately, still employed, but at this point a laughingstock and whipping boy for all those who wish to politically distance themselves from that mess, and rather blatantly watched like a hawk for any excuse whatever that would justify his dismissal and followup lynching in the court of public opinion.
While unhappy that it took so long, I think we've got the best real-world possible set of results we're gonna, and it's a done issue for me save for poking at the parole board over Henry.
