What do you think about the case of the 17 year old boy who got 10 years in prison (without parole) for getting a blowjob from his 15 year old girlfriend, when people do less time for murders? And, oh yeah....he's black!!

    I think it's appalling. Terrible. And I have signed the petition.
    Do you know what the present situation is?

    That is the biggest judicial atrocity that I have ever heard in my entire life! What in the hell are these Georgia officials thinking? I too signed the petition.

    It's so sad. It was even sadder when I followed a link about his appeal and found out about the new Romeo and Juliet law. The Romeo and Juliet Law was passed after he was sentenced and would have given him no more than 12 months.

    Racism is alive and well--and so is a kneejerk, uninformed, fanatical reaction to anything that the state or media call a "sex crime." If we were a civilized society, no one would fear going to prison for consensual sex with a teenager--let alone another teenager!

    It's so stupid! Prejudice is just wrong, especially in this. It's not his fault, the girl admitted it was consensual to her mother. And the girl herself admits he shouldn't be punished for this! Seriously, why the hell should you be punished more for getting head than going all the way?

    Fortunatly,he has been released, I felt injustice went way too far in this case. Hope he and anyone else has learned from this case public opinion can force change. the judge should have been fired,if voted in then voted out of office.

    It is wrong.
    They were both under the legal age and it was consensual.
    I remember that case.
    He was a scholar and an athlete and it was probably because of his race.
    I hope he gets a chance to excel in life.
    Because nobody should have to suffer because of something like that.

    Unbelievable. There should be no sentence. First off, they were close in age, it was consensual, and it was teenagers, not some perv having "consensual" sex with an 8 year old. It was based off of a stupid, outdated law; it was a sentencing probably also thick with racism. The girl was also the initiator. The judge needs to be disbarred.
