Marc Wilson sits in prison in Forsythe, Georgia at the Burruss Correctional Training Center, sentenced to ten years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. Seven of the jurors wanted to covict him of voluntary manslaughter, which would have carried a mandatory life sentence. Five jurors fell for the racial con and wanted a light sentence or an acquittal. The involuntary manslaughter verdict was a compromise. Kudos to Judge Ronnie Thompson for not compromising on the sentence. He gave that back-shooting, lying, cowardly thug Marc Wilson the maximum sentence under law. The defense even asked for for first offender status, which would have meant Wilson would not have had a felony on his record. But Thompson did not give in to political pressure like the judges in the Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd cases. He held his ground. And for that he has been called a racist by Wilson’s race-hustling attorneys and supporters.
Marc Wilson, if he survives prison, will still be a young man when he is released. He may even get parole, God forbid. But let us never forget Haley Hutcheson, the seventeen-year-old girl who Wilson killed in a fit of road rage. Let us not forget that Wilson fired his 9 mm pistol, a new toy he had had less than two months, when someone in the truck in which Haley was a passenger yelled something at Wilson’s girlfriend in a case of mistaken identity. Talking like a gangsta’ wannabe, Wilson told the police later that “I grabbed my piece and fired a warning shot” because he thought the people in the truck “had a piece too.” He then ran like a rat, deleted the geo-tracking info on his phone, and instructed his girlfriend to do the same.
Kudos to the Statesboro police for doing an excellent investigation. Shame on Wilson’s legal team for calling this a “legal lynching.” Let us hope that the prosecutors in this case will show up at Wilson’s parole hearings and argue passionately against letting this murderer loose. Because that is exactly what he is: a murderer. He tried to use race to wiggle out of his crime, and in a way succeeded. Ten years is not enough for what he did.
Hopefully this is the last time I have to report on this case. But I fear it is not. I will perhaps need to speak out in about a year from now when Wilson becomes eligible for parole.
Believe me. I will be watching.
