A judge in Atlanta has ordered the release of a man sentenced to 10 years for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17. Lawyers for Genarlow Wilson said, “This is a great day for varsity athletes everywhere.”

Amazingly, the state Attorney General is planning to appeal the decision, to try to keep the poor guy in jail. A spokesman said, “This decision doesn’t make the girl any less white.”

In the two years Mr. Wilson has spent in prison, many prominent citizens have come to his defense, including former President Jimmy Carter. I bet you thought I was going to say “Bill Clinton.”

I just had a thought…the guy was an honor student, so maybe he was doing it to her. Ladies, don’t press charges—we’re doing the best we can.
