Frank Hatley has languished in a South Georgia jail for more than a year.  The reason? He failed to reimburse the state for all the public assistance his “son” received over the past two decades.

The problem? Hatley is not the biological father — and a special assistant state attorney general and a judge knew it but jailed Hatley anyway.

ANCPR Says:

Do you notice how often the scenario presents itself: an overzealous prosecutor that apparently is insensitive to the proposition that our so called justice system actually dispense something approaching “justice”.  An old friend of mine lamented some time back, “What do you get when you take out the just from the word justice?  You get just ice!”
