My estimate of when we'll get a final decision on that 2054* Doug

By 2054 you will be over 100 and pushing up Rose Throne Bushes with the other 20 or so Governor Perdue Evil Prisoners, waiting for Jesus to return to excise his wrath against the Nation of "Alcarolina" which has merge with the former State of South Carolina and southern Alabama. A State Rosetta Stone will be found at the former location of the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill, Which will say " At this location in the fall of 2011, Governor "Sugar Dumpling" Perdue herded all of the 40,000 State Prisoners of North Carolina into the Dean Dome by the State Police. A Hurricane appeared named " Obama" without notice nor to be found by the Weather Channel at the Dean Dome, which will destroy it. Over 90% of the Prisoners escaped and became citizens of the nation Mississippi later on. The remaining 10% of the Prisoners seize control of the University at Chapel Hill and held Governor Perdue hostage for 40 days and nights until the rain stop of which she was traded off for a 1 rd round draft choice with a New Headless Pony Sports Leaque call " The Taliban Comes To America With Sara Palin"

Much Ado About Nothing:

'On the local scene, two rulings by our Supreme Court aroused ire by those who are not lawyers. Recently, the Supreme Court indicated that a ruling of the Court of Appeals in State v. Bowden was "improvidently allowed." What this means is that the ruling of the Court of Appeals will stand. In tihs particular case, the Court of Appeals ruled that the defendant, who was sentenced under the law in effect in 1975 which provided that a life sentence is 80 years. With credits, the defendant, who is now 60, has completed his sentence. The police and governor and hysterical souls express outrage and prey upon the public's fears that murder and rapists will be running loose. Here is a link to but one story with the inmate's photo: http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/6235442/. Look at this man, who is now age 60. Does he look like he is going on any crime sprees any time soon? We cannot predict with certainty, but just look at him. I don't think he will do much except get his Social Security check and disappear if he is released.

The law is no longer in effect and has been repealed. So this law will affect how many people? Maybe a relative handful, compared to how many thousands of people we lock up. I don't know the details of Mr. Bowden's case as I have not read it, but I do know that too often defendants have less than stellar defenses and they lack the resources for defense counsel to do a really meaningful job. I also know that too many a wayward youth finds him or herself at the really wrong place at the wrong time and does something stupid which lands them in jail. However, that does not mean that these people are criminals or that they cannot go on to lead productive lives instead of being institutionalized for life. Mr. Bowden and the other inmates who have served their sentences should be released. And there are more pressing problems facing this state. Unemployment in this state is over ten percent (10%) (its probably higher as the government underestimates this number). There are no jobs to speak of here; two of my neighbors had to obtain work out of state and one will be relocating once the house here is sold. Yes, that is right - people are actually leaving this state to find work! The governor should stop manufacturing her phony outrage, stop gallivanting around the world and focus on the real problems facing this state instead of worrying about a handful of aged convicts."
