NO BOND for Genarlow Wilson

27 Jun 2007 Author: rikyrah

Genarlow Wilson, the young man who was given 10 years for consensual oral sex in Georgia has been denied bond while awaiting appeal.

The law under which he was sentenced, has since been changed. A judge threw out his conviction, but the District Attorney filed an appeal, which means that Genarlow is still caught up in the legal system. And now, this judge has denied him bond during the appeal process.

He’s served over 2 years for consensual oral sex. There are no words, because the only words I feel like using would get me banned.

Rikyrah, Did you really expect more out of Tavis? I like the brotha, he is sharp. But Brotha, obviously has issues.
It may be a setup though, hopefully he and the black folks in the audience will handle the right wing Republican.
I’ll give him the benefit of doubt this one. Lets see how it plays out.
