Ok BGR family here is a real gut check for all of us. I am a firm believer in the justice system but after you read this you will wonder what in the hell is wrong with out justice system.

Man, that is crazy.

It's frustrating work. No one involved believes Wilson should be in jail for 10 years.

The prosecutors don't.

The Supreme Court doesn't.

The legislature doesn't.

The 15-year-old "victim" doesn't.

The forewoman of the jury doesn't.

Privately, even prison officials don't.




The position of Barker and the district attorney, McDade, who refused to comment, is that Wilson is guilty under the law and there is no room for mercy, though the facts seem to say they simply chose not to give it to Wilson. At the same time this trial was under way, a local high school teacher, a white female, was found guilty of having a sexual relationship with a student -- a true case of child molestation. The teacher received 90 days. Wilson received 3,650 days.




Wow that whole thing blows my mind. Especially the two parts I have cut and pasted into here.

Yeah...I read this earlier.. Couldn't believe it.

[Meaty]

That is pitiful... The person who approved of that needs to be thrown in jail!

You can't do anything anymore or have sex or anything sexual related with anyone. There's always a way to turn it into a crime.
