I think the discretion was exercised inappropriately at the trial level, and it's now just flat out crazy to pursue an appeal to keep Wilson in jail, but I don't understand how this is comparable to Nifong, who actually broke the rules on exchanging evidence in order to hide exculpatory evidence from the defense.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-90576050423263551042007-06-11T13:49:00.000-07:002007-06-11T13:49:00.000-07:00Honestly, the decision doesn't surprise me at all....Honestly, the decision doesn't surprise me at all. Georgia is quickly becoming a one-party system in state elections again -- the only Democrats who won statewide positions last year were incumbents such as AG Thurbert Baker. It seems to me that it's more of a political calculation by Baker than anything else -- tough on child molesters and all that.<BR/><BR/>Even though the Republican General Assembly and governor voted to make the same act a misdemeanor. I almost wish I hadn't voted for the guy.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567385151688481202noreply@blogger.com
