Maybe this will end up off on a tangent but I don’t understand where you’re going here. What is the actual crisis in the justice system that you’re saying exists?
The word that infuriated me was “promiscuity” which suggests the father either (1) thinks the only crime his son is guilty of is “promiscuity” or (2) he believes the victim is guilty of promiscuity.
The victim was the VICTIM of a crime and his son is guilty of RAPE.
Maybe it is the first time he did it. It shouldn’t matter. I don’t think a person needs to establish a pattern of committing serious crimes in order to be treated like a serious criminal. The rule should be one murder or one rape and you go to prison for a long time.
Brock Turner is trash, and so is his father, Dan Turner, and the judge who imposed the sentence is no better.
I want to highlight this portion of the victim’s statement:
Un-fucking-believable.
I think he has Lizzie Borden eyes.
Let’s just not. Thanks.
The judge relied on the probation Dept. recommendation. There has to be unique circumstances for them to recommend only six months.
If the probation Dept and judge felt 6 months is appropriate then I recognize they know more details than what’s been reported. That’s why the general public doesn’t sentence criminals.
How trusting of authority you are…
I think its more depending on the sport and school, in that order, and race as a factor further down the list.
For once, Law & Order got it right:
Yes because all judges are clan members I forgot.
I think it was more that he was an athlete and rich, not that he was white, that he got this ridiculous sentence. He should have gotten at least 10 years for this horrible crime.
Where do you get this from? Anyone who is so perverted that they are willing to rape an unconscious woman has probably done this before and will probably do it again. Normal people, when faced with an unconscious woman, call 911. They don’t unzip their pants.
The two bikers who caught the guy red-handed were reportedly completely horrified by what he was doing. There aren’t any unknown facts to justify this sentence. Eye-witnesses, very clear evidence.
No unless the judge disobeyed the law in sentencing, as in the crime had a mandatory minimum punishment written into the law and the judge disregarded those ruled. In criminal cases appeals are generally only for the accused due to double jeopardy.
Boy, that sure woulda been some stupid thing to say.
Yep. Whoever said that sure must’ve been some powerful stupid.
So tell me … besides you, who said that?
If you’d like help using the quote function I can send you a tutorial.
You have some very strange ideas about speech.
That’s a disgusting thing to say and you should be utterly ashamed of it.
Waitaminute, I don’t know the other (alleged criminals?) that you reference, but I am familiar with Casey Anthony.
So if I am understanding you correctly, you feel that if someone had written his thoughts about Casey Anthony, he would have been in great legal trouble?
What type of legal trouble would he be in? What crime did he commit in writing something about Casey Anthony?
In reference to the cases of
– the case of Wanetta Gibson who destroyed Brian Banks’ life,
– journalists who considered Clara Harris justified in killing her husband for infidelity in 2003
– Casey Anthony
Many men had unauthorized thought processes about above cases. These thought processes were similar to this. But anyone who expressed these thoughts would be in a legal danger.
A black man would have gotten the maximum. If it had been a white partygoer who happened to be a burger flipper he also would have gotten the maximum. This kid got leniency because the judge related to him. Similar backgrounds, both men.
And this is why we invented mandatory sentencing.
