No wonder so many people don't trust the alleged justice system in this country. They knowingly sent an innocent man to jail! :261: That flies in the face of everything for which this country allegedly stands. :irked:

(CNN) -- Frank Hatley spent the past year in jail for being a deadbeat dad. But there's one problem -- Hatley doesn't have any children. And the "deadbeat" label doesn't fit the 50-year-old either, his supporters say. After a hearing, Hatley was released from the Cook County Jail in south Georgia Wednesday afternoon, with the help of the Southern Center for Human Rights.
What kind of fucked up, backwards Southern shit is that?!?!Superior Court Judge Dane Perkins ruled that Hatley was indigent and should not be jailed for not being able to make child support payments. Perkins postponed a decision on whether Hatley should have to make any more back payments on child-support for a child who is not his. In June of last year, a judge ordered Hatley to jail for failing to reimburse the state for public assistance that was paid to support his "son," who, as the court was aware, is not actually his son.
IMHO - Essie Lee Morrison is a lying cheating cunt; :angryfire2: and y'all know I don't use that word lightly. It's stuff like this that makes an otherwise decent man hate and mistrust all women; not to mention the fucked up version of justice that was initially dispatched in this case. Cunts like her make it hard for good, decent women like myself and others everywhere.The story dates back to 1986, when Hatley had a relationship with Essie Lee Morrison. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Morrison told Hatley that the child was his, but the couple ended their relationship shortly after the boy's birth, according to court documents. The couple never married and never lived together, the documents state. When the boy turned 2, Morrison applied for public support for her son. Under Georgia law, the state can go after the non-custodial parent to recoup the assistance.
