The Georgia Supreme Court got this one right:

@CNN

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) – Genarlow Wilson was released from prison Friday, after spending more than two years behind bars for a teen sex conviction.

“I’ve got a new life,” Genarlow Wilson tells reporters after being released Friday.

“At times I dealt with adversity … my family and myself, we finally get to deal with happiness now,” Wilson said, with his mother and sister at his side.

The Georgia Supreme Court earlier Friday ordered that he be released, ruling 4-3 that his sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.

Amen.

I’m not really seeing a Pit thread here, Phase42. I’d suggest rewriting the OP a bit and starting a thread in either MPSIMS or GD, as the mood strikes.
