Following up on my previous Obama post, and also on the Genarlow Wilson updates, The Atlanta Journal Constitution has this story on the charges being sought against the prosecutor in the Genarlow Wilson case, for showing further signs of “overzealous” prosecution in distributing the sex tape that helped convict him. The connection?
Some of the group, all of whom are African-American, compared McDade’s actions to those of Mike Nifong, the district attorney in North Carolina recently sanctioned for zealous prosecution of Duke lacrosse players who eventually were cleared of rape charges. They suggested McDade should be prosecuted criminally for distributing a tape that shows Wilson, who was 17 at the time, having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old.
