The attorney general's office disclosed that as recently as this past weekend Douglas County offered Wilson's attorneys a plea deal that would have allowed Wilson to avoid a criminal record and inclusion on the sex offender registry once his sentence had been completed. The plea deal would have also allowed Wilson to serve a "substantially shorter" prison sentence, possibly leading to his "release based upon time already served."
The arrogance of the Taliban is unbounded. My point is that Douglas County had no business pursuing appeals after Georgia passed its "Romeo and Juliet exception". Passing the exception rendered the original charge void. You folks need to recall McDade and all his supporters, then try to forget they ever existed.
