More American Justice

One night in January 2015, two Stanford University graduate students biking across campus spotted a freshman thrusting his body on top of an unconscious, half-naked woman behind a dumpster. This March, a California jury found the former student, 20-year-old Brock Allen Turner, guilty of three counts of sexual assault. Turner faced a maximum of 14 years in state prison. On Thursday, he was sentenced to six months in county jail and probation. The judge said he feared a longer sentence would have a “severe impact” on Turner, a champion swimmer who once aspired to compete in the Olympics — a point repeatedly brought up during the trial.

UPDATE 6/6/16

Besides the judge, both Turner and his father are despicable people to whom a sexual assault on an unconscious woman behind a dumpster late at night is a mere "20 minutes of action" and "sexual promiscuity" for which the perpetrator shouldn't have to do jail time, because his life will never be the same as it is. HE will "never be his happy go lucky self with that easy going personality and welcoming smile.” Gee, I feel real bad for him.
