...every step of the way, Wilson was offered - and refused - a lesser sentence in exchange for an admission of guilt. He refused to accept a plea before the trial, and refused again before sentencing. "I mean what kind of chance would he have in life, if he came out of prison as a sex offender for the rest of his life," said Wilson's mother, Juannessa Bennett, in an interview with TIME earlier this year...
