College athlete gets 15 years for rape of unconscious woman

[True Dough]

Unlike the Brock Turner case, this sentence is more fitting. But the guilty party has a little more melanin...

1. Well he's black

No mystery here

[sarae]

2. yep...

so fucking predictable.

[Calculating]

3. Typical

Black athlete gets 15 years for rape. White Athlete gets probation or w/e.

[heaven05]

4. no doubt

while they both deserve prison time, melanin or lack of is ALWAYS the deciding factor of who is deserving of a 2nd chance in amerikkka.

5. Turner should have got the same.

I'm glad Turner's judge is no longer hearing criminal cases.

[mythology]

6. Except there are plenty of examples of black athletes getting away too

Sam Ukwuachu and Tevin Elliott were both protected by Baylor from rape charges. Lawrence Taylor was caught with a 16 year old prostitute and got probation. Jameis Winston had both Florida State and the local police cover up for him raping a woman.

Athletes in general receive favorable treatment.

It also feels pertinent to point out that Brandon Vandenberg was also convicted and sentenced to 15 to 25 years in the same rape as Batey. Vandenberg is white.

8. Look at the statistical standard rather than the aberration.

Look at the statistical standard rather than the aberration.

7. But, Vanderbilt isn't in the Top Ten!!

Oops. Neither is Standforit.

[Igel]

9. Lots of differences.

Rape versus assault. In one, penis in play; in the other, fingers only.

In one, the defendant was involved in moving the unconscious woman with buddies. In the other, she walked.

In one, there was video. In the other, not.

In one the defendant was uncooperative and in the other, cooperative.

Different judges.

Different laws.

Etc.

10. Excellent example of selective sentencing.

Makes it clear, doesn't it?

[Sissyk]

11. There are two guilty rapist

In the Nashville case. BAtey has been sentenced and Vandenburg'sentencing is this month and is expected to receive 10 to 15 years.

Here's the complete story.

Two more athletes are still awaiting trial in the Vanderbilt case.
