The Georgia Supreme Court hearings to free Genarlow Wilson are over, with no decision expected soon.
The courtroom was packed for the hearing, and arguments were broadcast live over the Internet. The hearing came after justices decided earlier this month to speed up the process in the case of Wilson, the Douglas County man imprisoned for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl when he was 17. Wilson's attorneys arguing his 10-year prison sentence is cruel and unusual punishment.

It amazes me that the national media blows up a story about the injustice to a pit bull ... while barely touching stories about injustice to Genarlow Wilson or the Jena Six. Our sense of priority seems out of kilter so often in this country.
