Genarlow Wilson was released from prison Friday http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/10/26/wilson.freed/index.html TLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Genarlow Wilson was released from prison Friday, after spending more than two years behind bars for a teen sex conviction. "I've got a new life," Genarlow Wilson tells reporters after being released Friday. 1 of 2 var CNN_ArticleChanger = new CNN_imageChanger('cnnImgChngr','/2007/US/law/10/26/wilson.freed/imgChng/p1-0.init.exclude.html',1,1); //CNN.imageChanger.load('cnnImgChngr','imgChng/p1-0.exclude.html'); "At times I dealt with adversity ... my family and myself, we finally get to deal with happiness now," Wilson said, with his mother and sister at his side. The Georgia Supreme Court earlier Friday ordered that he be released, ruling 4-3 that his sentence was cruel and unusual punishment. Wilson, 21, was convicted in 2005 of having oral sex with a consenting 15-year-old girl when he was 17. Wilson said he first heard about the possibility he'd be freed Friday when someone told him word was out on the radio. "I'd seen it coming, but I didn't exactly know when," he said. "I'd just stopped trying to figure the courts out and stopped trying to put a date on it."
The girl was black too though (even though a couple of media outlets mistakenly reported she was white)
