[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 51892, member: 3485"] Sounds like an overzealous prosecutor wanted to get a rape conviction on his resume but seeing as the case was too weak, settled for the bogus oral-sex charge. Everyone agrees that this case was an unintended consequence of a poorly written law, but are prevented from remedying the situation by the technicalities. This is precisely why governors and presidents have the power of pardon -- to mend situations where the mitigating circumstances fall between the legal cracks. So why hasn't Georgia's governor pardoned this boy? [/QUOTE]
