In a town of 2,900 whites and 350 blacks, perhaps it's not surprising that black defendants are so easily railroaded by the justice system.  We see incidents of prosecutorial abuse frequently in cases involving young black men, most notably in the case of Genarlow Wilson, a young black high school football player who was convicted of a sex crime for having consensual oral sex with a female classmate.  That never would have happened if the young couple had both been white.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7A3DC7FF-9A19-48ED-B79D-A54467219F20/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
