I知 really not surprised that some of the jurors have recanted considering the amount of scrutiny this case has received in the media. Regardless of whether they agree with the sentence that was given they did in fact find him guilty.

I agree he is not on trial. He has been convicted. But now his case is in the media and in the court of public opinion wear I would say just about every story I have read in regard to this case has made it a point to mention that Genarlow Wilson was homecoming king, an honor roll student and a varsity letterman. Character works both ways and in this society right or wrong people are judged by the company they keep.

This is correct he was not convicted; he was acquitted.
