The case was appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court; the court twice refused to hear the case, with the presiding judge delivering an opinion that said she was "very sympathetic to Wilson's argument" but that she was bound by the Legislature's decision to make the law not apply retroactively.[12]
The governor does not have pardon power in Georgia, but the prosecutor has the power to set aside the verdict. The prosecutor Eddie Barker, apparently waiting for an admission of guilt, has said "the one person who can change things at this point is Genarlow. The ball's in his court."

Genarlow Wilson was also an honor student and a leader on his high school’s football team. He was headed to college.
Despite the fact that — by the legal definition — the 15-year-old girl could not consent to having oral sex with 17-year-old Wilson, the video makes it clear that she was acting of her own free will.
I don’t give a damn about Al Sharpton — Genarlow Wilson does NOT deserve 10 years in prison.
