After sentencing convicted rapist, Brock Turner, to only 6 months in jail, Judge Persky’s decisions are being heavily questioned. Now there is a movement to have him removed from cases involving sexual assault. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola, and Ben Mankiewicz, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Santa Clara, California, Judge Aaron Persky — the same judge who has received backlash for sentencing ex-Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner to just six months in jail (of which only three will actually be served) for three felony sexual assault counts — was removed Tuesday from another case involving sexual assault under suspicions of unfairness.
In the new case, a male nurse is facing allegations for sexually assaulting an anesthetized woman, according to KNTV.
