Black state lawmakers are calling for a special session to help free Genarlow Wilson. The three state senators say Wilson’s 10-year prison sentence for having consensual oral sex as a teenager with another teen is too harsh. Today they sent a letter to Governor Sonny Perdue urging him to bring lawmakers back for a special session to change the law keeping Wilson behind bars. A spokesperson for the Governor says since Mr. Perdue just left for a two-week trade mission to Europe, he probably won’t be able to do anything until he returns.
