I wonder if the deal is retroactive and many that were oversentenced by congress will be released ?

No, it's not retroactive. I've actually never even heard of a sentencing reduction that was retroactive.
Can't the Ga Governor commute the lad's sentence? Or perhaps pardon him?
EMO boy. I would not. His "crime" was victimless. I would not have had him in jail at all.Damo would've had him in life prison for life, though. So I guess he should at least feel glad that Damo holds no power in the world.
You forget the governor is a Social Conservative Republican, Sunny Perdue. Hell, he likely belives blow jobs should be illegal even for married couples.
I think if they are going to outlaw blowjobs, they should word it so that it is “especially” for married people, not “even” for married people. Because to tell you the truth once the magic is gone that is the first thing that gets dropped. Two years in, and I’m like, get out of here with that, would you? Why should some poor married lady not have the law to fall back on too…20 years into the marriage, you think she wants to do that? No way.

He could.
It's pretty odd, in the US system. Most people think that there is a national age of consent of 18, but in most jurisdictions it's actually 16 or 17. Children above that age are considered completely able to give 100% consent, and children below that are considered completely unable to give consent, even to 16 or 17 year olds. So, we have schoolchildren going to jail for having sex with each other. And we have 30 year old men taking advantage of 16 year olds without even being given a misdemeanor.
