Dear Attorney General Baker,
Justice was finally served on Monday when Superior Court Judge Thomas H. Wilson declared Genarlow Wilson's felony conviction and 10-year prison term a clear miscarriage of justice and ordered him released from prison. Judge Wilson's ruling noted that if "any Court, cannot recognize the injustice of what has occurred here, then our court system has lost sight of the goal our judicial system has always strived to accomplish... Justice being served in a fair and equal manner."
As Attorney General, you have the obligation to represent the interests of the state of Georgia, and the discretion to pursue this appeal or help ensure a speedy release for Mr. Wilson. Appealing Judge Wilson's ruling does not protect any Georgians, denies a young man full of promise the ability to move on with his life, and stands in the way of justice being served.
Thousands of Georgians, along with others across the country, have recognized the miscarriage of justice represented by the Genarlow Wilson case and have asked for his release. I expect that you, as Attorney General, will consider the interests of the people of Georgia, and your moral obligation to act for justice, in carrying out your duties.
It's time for this unfair, unjustified ordeal to stop. Please, drop your appeal, and allow this young man to go home and proceed with his life.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
