UPDATE: Genarlow Wilson not so free after all

As Everyone probably knows by now, Attorney General Thurbert Baker is appealing the decision to free Genarlow.

Of course, I'm mad as Hell, but I'm not surprised at all. Thurbert, when will you take off the tap shoes and top hat (not a dig at his bad hairpiece) and start doing what's right?

I just left a press conference with Rev. Joseph Lowery, Rev. James Orange, Ms. Janice Mathis of Rainbow/Push, Mr. Edward Dubose of Georgia NAACP, B.J. Bernstein (Genarlow's attorney), Sens. Gail Davenport and Vincent Fort, and Reps. Tyrone Brooks and Randall Mangham where everyone took a vote of No-Confidence of Attorney General Baker and had in hand a letter asking for his resignation.

Random Sidenote: Hillary Clinton Boasts Baker as one of her Georgia Supporters. I'm not sure if that is such a good idea.

Genarlow Wilson Freed!!!

Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson reduced 21 year old Genarlow Wilson's sentence to a misdemeanor today and hopefully will be freed within 48 hours. I'm glad that a judge finally stepped in and did something about this since our "do-nothing" legislature was too busy showing their backsides to get any real legislation passed this year.
