Sentencing Law & Policy has continued to stay on top of the Wilson case. In his most recent post about Wilson, Professor Berman has a couple comments and refers us to a new website about the case:
Georgia officials have not responded and Wilson is now deep into his third year in prison serving a 10-year sentence for a crime that Georgia law now classifies as a misdemeanor subject to only 12 months imprisonment.
Meanwhile, Wilson's case has inspired the creation of a new non-profit organizarion called "My 5th," which has this intriguing new website. The website's home page states, "With this website, blog and workshops, MY 5th wants to prevent you from paying the price for not knowing the law!!!! Use the law, don't let it use you!!!". An intriguing and diverse set of individuals are on My 5th's board, and Wilson's lawyer is listed as the president and founder of the organization. Not suprisingly, Wilson's case is featured here on the My 5th site.
And thanks to eadvocate for sending me the link to the same website.
