Yes, I have to tell you I think this is racism myself.
In most jurisdictions, the original trial court retains jurisdiction over all post trial petitions regarding criminal sentences. These attorneys appear to have specifically chosen to not present their petition to the Douglas County Superior Court, but instead to the Monroe County Superior Court; hence, my question: does Georgia law really give the Monroe County court system appellate jurisdiction over actions of the Douglas County court system?
She drank alot on her own and engaged in sex. The jury didn’t see it as rape.
Is there a statute of limitations on underage sex? Will our upcoming 40th wedding anniversary shield me from charges?
I think there are a fair number of people on this board who'd wish you were not only prosecuted, but think you should still be in prison. Especially, of course, if you can somehow be linked to the "civil rights crowd," whoever they are.
Mary Winkler guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the March 2006 killing of her minister husband, Matthew. Judge gives her only 60 days in mental hospital............................
Mary Winkler gets 60 days in mental hospital..
Mary Winkler is ok, because she had nothing to do with the Civil Rights Crowd. If her name had been Tamika rather than Mary Winkler, some on this board would be clamoring for a death sentence. It’s disgusting, if you ask me.
Especially, of course, if you can somehow be linked to the “civil rights crowd,” whoever they are.
Well, civil rights are an awful thing. We should all be opposed to civil rights and it’s unruly crowd.
That's the crime that got Genarlow a 10 year sentence. This uppity negro attempted to exercise his constitutional right to a trial instead of taking whatever punishment the state unilaterally offered him! The district attorney himself said, verbatim, that Genarlow "decided to become a martyr" when he rejected the plea bargain.
I am surprised that on a board as conservative as Free Republic, so many people are so quick to throw down the Racist label for someone that simply advocates following the law.
This tells me that you know you are wrong and you have no other argument.
Why did you send your post (#60) to me?
Huh?
Because you were the seeming target of an ad hominem.
I mistakenly assumed that regular readers of this forum were quite familiar with the Al Sharpton gang. Are they "black"? Well, in their opinion, they are the very Voice of Blackness, I guess, and they just love to magnify any evidence the newspapers provide that Georgia is still the Old South and racism still alive and well here and everywhere in our evil nation.
For that reason, it doesn't affect their view at all that the Georgia AG himself is "black," and I'm sure it will not affect yours either.
Ya know what? I would make a bet he was the ringleader for the whole orgy and set up the videotaping himself.
Was force used in this case? I think it said everything was totally consensual. So in that case, the only thing to consider is he should really have thought twice about how young this girl was.””
In the AM news shows interviews, this morning, he didn’t think he had done ANYTHING wrong with a girl of 15.
If it had been my daughter, he would not have even seen trial. He would have been disciplined by me.
And maybe that would have been more appropriate. Not every act of less than chivalrous behavior needs a legal remedy.
Oh, no! Another VICTIM!!! Ask him if he's African-American or something so you can wail about how everybody who looks like him is suffering from the abuse.
Is something wrong with you? Are you always like this? Don’t you have anything better to do?
Matter of fact, I do. I have actually cancelled the Atlanta newspaper because I am tired of reading their rancid propaganda, but they keep throwing it in my driveway, so I opened it this a.m. to read (for the zillionth time) about the plight of your friend the "honor student." It made me angry then, and it still makes me angry, since this latest Martyr for the Liberal Cause is an unusually unworthy one. But I wasn't as bothered by the AJC as I am by you and your buddies on this thread, so I will sign off and do something else. Maybe clean the litter box.
