What Genarlow Wilson did was wrong -- he was 17 years old when he encouraged a 15 year old girl to perform oral sex on him, which she willingly did -- but it wasn't 10-years-in-a-jail, registering-as-a-sex-offender wrong. And the Georgia Supreme Court fixed that today. Justice delayed is justice denied, but it is justice nonetheless.
