In reply to the discussion: Stanford sexual assault: judge facing recall campaign over light sentence [View all]DebbieCDC

See what this piece of shit's daddy wrote in his "defense" to the light-hearted judge:

That fury intensified Sunday as critics slammed a letter written by Turners father as oblivious, tone-deaf and impossibly offensive.
His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve, Dan A. Turner wrote in a letter arguing that his son should receive probation, not jail time. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.
He will never be his happy go lucky self with that easy going personality and welcoming smile, the letter says, noting that the former Olympic hopeful is now a registered sex offender.

His every waking minute is consumed with worry, anxiety, fear, and depression, the father wrote. You can see this in his face, the way he walks, his weakened voice, his lack of appetite. Brock always enjoyed certain types of food and is a very good cook himself. I was always excited to buy him a big ribeye steak to grill or to get his favorite steak for him. Now he barely consumes any food and eats only to exist.

Somehow I don't think it is this judge's first time issuing light-sentences.
