Ga. Supreme Court strikes down sex offender rule
ATLANTA - Georgia's top court dealt another blow Tuesday to the state's tough sex offender rules, ruling a provision that requires an automatic life prison sentence for sex offenders who repeatedly fail to register is 'cruel and unusual punishment.' The Georgia Supreme Court's 6-1 decision threw out the life sentence given to Cedric Bradshaw, a 25-year-old who was arrested for failing to register as an offender after he said he spent weeks trying to find a place that didn't violate the law's residential restrictions.
