ATLANTA — "A Georgia judge on Monday voided a 10-year sentence given to a 17-year-old teenage male who was convicted of having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl.
Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson voided Genarlow Wilson's sentence and dropped it to misdemeanor aggravated child molestation with a 12-month sentence, plus credit for time served. Under the new ruling, he will not be required to register as a sex offender.
"I just feel like a miracle happened," Genarlow Wilson's mother, Juannessa Bennett, said Monday.
Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker said Monday afternoon that he had filed notice of appeal, arguing that Georgia law does not give a judge authority to reduce or modify the sentence imposed by the trial court. He said he would seek an expedited ruling from the Georgia Supreme Court.
Wilson defense lawyer B.J. Bernstein said she believes Baker is just trying to stop Wilson's immediate release."
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH
His lawyer is named BJ? The man goes to jail for getting head from a kid, then hires an attorney called BJ? Go ahead. Try and make this shit up.
