NERO - Judge Sets Genarlow Wilson Free

Monday, June 11, 2007 - A NERO award goes out to Georgia state judge Thomas H. Wilson who today threw out Genarlow Wilson's previous sentence and amended it to misdemeanor aggravated child molestation with a 12-month sentence, plus credit for time served. Not quite a HERO but certainly not a ZERO.

This is a rather complicated case. In the end, was justice served? Hopefully, the state of Georgia will think carefully before automatically appealing the decision.

The Washington Post has a rather complete article regarding the case found HERE.
