This I've read about through the years; it always seems the height of absurdity and for some reason the powers that be seem determined to ruin this kid's life, no matter what. I'm not clever enough to deduce what the reasoning behind such baffling recalcitrance could be, but I do agree with Andrew Sullivan: would be different if he was white.
Also, the thing that kills me is they have since changed the law partly based on his case, but don't apply it to him. Unreal. "Sorry buddy, we changed the very law we sent you away for because thanks to you we realized how ridiculous it was, but tough shit you yourself gotta stay in prison. Ain't that a kick in the orange jumpsuit?" I think a voice of reason needs to step in down there. Of course, where's Al and Jesse? There's no cameras in Georgia? There has to be; my first "manage a moi" moment was to Daisy Duke, and she was in Georgia.
