Where was “Justice For All” for Genarlow Wilson?

Most of us through our Junior, or Middle, and High School years have, or had, thought about what sex is, or was, like. Many of us have, or had, sex during those years.

Sometimes I find it interesting how things happen. I just finished reading a book about Australian Aboriginal Society. Part of the book deals with their view of sex. They view sex as a wonderful part of life and when it comes to children imitating adult behaviors about sex they don’t condone it, but neither do they punish them for it. Of course the children are pretty much capable of living on their own by the time they are 5 years old. They know how to find food and shelter and water. Their culture is structured in such a way that the children, while still children are able to act as adults when the need arises.

They, as a result of their culture do not have problems with population.

Our culture is fragmented. On the one hand our population must grow. On the other hand sex is a taboo subject. We expect our children to act as adults, but when they do it is a crime.

In the case of Genardo Wilson both parties involved were agreeable to what happened. It was not intercourse so there was chance of an untimely pregnancy.

Somehow the authorities caught word of the incident and prosecuted Mr. Wilson (Yes, Mr. as he is now an adult). He was convicted and went to jail. He refused to plea bargain because he did not feel he commited a crime nad didn’t want the stigma of being labled as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

After the incident and while the case was in court the state legislature changed the law and Genardo was tried as an adult (seemingly the law was used retroactively). While he was in jail after his conviction the law was changed again to make it a misdemeanor he was left in jail.

He is now free. My congratrulations Mr. Wilson!

How does this tie in to a Pre-Paid Legal Membership?

When the police showed up to arrest him, with our Legal Shield, he would have had 24 hour emergency access to an attorney. With early intervention by an attorney it is possible that he may never have been arrested in the first place.
