Description

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports on "first offender status" in Georgia, designed to give first-time criminals a break in sentencing. The paper's analysis of state records "shows at least 3,740 people in Georgia have been granted first offender status for sex crimes, some so serious they were sentenced to prison." Such people aren't listed in the state's sex offender registry or on the Web site of the Department of Corrections, either.
