    this kid was a high school track and football star...... he was most likely on his way to playing college football. they took some of the most formative years away from this guy.

    There's a lot of assholery contained in your gibberish.

    None of this matters in the slightest. She was a minor, HE was a minor. She agreed to sex, he agreed to sex. There was no reason why he should've been doing any jailtime whatsoever, period.

    Hopefully this young lad will be able to get his life back together. He seems strong-willed enough.

    Prehaps but I thought he was of age. Not by much. Still if we think of Florida and Jessica's Law signed. This was a way to sweep into other aspects upon crime. You forget. These southren states do work in tandems and it is shown throught history. Maybe! Georiga's sex abusers goes to Florida. Maybe! Florida sex abusers goes to Georiga. Either way it sounds like a Mr. Cuban Gorden Jr. movie or Mr. Denzle Washington.

    Other than that. These people passed a bill to honor Florida's national championships. So both states notice and there are more!

    Nope! Retard speech ain't gonna do it. Vivzig had you nailed, 'There's a lot of assholery contained in your gibberish.'

    I don't agree with the court reversing the sentence on cruel and unusual punishment grounds. The statute and sentence may have other constitutional flaws, but I don't think cruel and unusual is a strong attack. Compare the story of Miami HS football player Antwain Easterling- "consensual" teenage sex isn't always victimless or without grave consequences. The state supreme court is not a super legislature and my impression is that all they did was second guess the lawmakers. See http://sentencing.typepad.com/sentencing_law_and_policy/2006/12/why_isnt_the_se.html for more discussion on this constitutional topic.

    We have a term in the US for members of the judiciary who use nuance and intelligence in their decision-making. They're called "activist judges".

    You in the UK have got a term that applies nicely to this whole case. I believe the term is "nanny state", isn't it?

    Jeez! Yall must be akin for time. If memory serves correctly. It was either this guy or the first in question which also had previous trouble with under age laws. I could be wrong because I skim article when this first broke. I could not find anything. That would suggest. He was never guilty but only that his crime was not jailtime worthy. You know. How those big guardsmen like it? He must of been like toss back supplyer of radioactive ipods. But hey I guess all the Superem Court does is over turn. Because in days past; it used to upgrade additional charges (like death by guilotine). Still he was never guilty. He was just a product of abandonment. Until plea bargins presist!
