What laws are not there to be applied 100% literally? Some laws ARE 100% literal. Yes, some common sense IS needed, and I already said I think his situation was unjust, but we are past that. The point many people are missing is he was given a deal before and after his conviction. He was convicted, and due to being convicted he would have to register as a sex offender regardless if he maintains his innocence or not and regardless of if he does five or ten.
If you were convicted of a crime, and the DA came back and offered you five years would you take it? Remember, you have already been convicted of the crime. What would you do?

Well that much is obvious because he turned down the deal twice. But I am asking what would YOU do in this instance?
Read this S-L-O-W-L-Y. Are you ready?
He has already been convicted of a crime. When you are convicted of a crime of this nature you have to register as a sex offender. Regardless if he believes he is innocent and decides to serve ten, or regardless if he accepts the five, he will still be required to register as a sex offender, and he will still be looked upon as a sex offender. The crime will NOT be expunged from his record (unless the conviction were overturned), and once again he will be looked at as a sex offender.
Again, read this S-L-O-W-L-Y.

I agree with Heresy.... dude should have just taken the 5 with possibility of Parole... he wouldn't have done the whole 5 anyway and when he got out he could have went to college and continued where he left off with his football career. One of the dudes has already been released and is enrolled in college right now. Either way it goes he was going to have to register as a sex offender anyway. He broke the law. He blew it... should have just agreed to plea bargain.
The DA was trying to hook him up but since he decided to take it to trial and fight it, he lost and got slapped with the 10. It's his fault....

haha every time i seen his attornies name i thought they were talking about what happened but yeah this shit is hella fucked up the 4 white against 3 black and it wouldve been overturned... fucking racist down south if i was black id move to california because even though we still got racist people here but not as racist as that
Okay, just went back and re-read it, all I was saying was that the plea bargains were offered to the guys, and if accepted, they were putting in a 'Guilty' plea, and would serve the shortened time in prison. If they denied the plea bargain, the trial would be held in court to be decided upon by jurors. I guess Wilson was willing to take the chance of being convicted or possibly not ( which eventually he was anyways ), and risk the longer stint in the slammer.
So I guess he figured he had a chance at beating the case. And he was wrong.
^^^ All of that is fine and great, but what about them giving him a chance to take five AFTER he was convicted? Thats what my emphasis is on.
It doesn't matter if you plead guilty or are found guilty, you still have to register as a sex offender. Again, they offered him the deal before AND after the conviction. Why not take it? Pride of being labled a sex offender? You're already labled as one and have to register as one, so why not cut your sentence in half and take the deal? And again, I'm not talking about the deal they gave him before trial. I am talking about teh deal they gave him AFTER the trial.
