Hi everyone, this is Jillian and you are listening to Court Junkie.

Today's brief is about recalling the judge from the Brock Turner case.

If you haven't yet listened to my last episode, episode 58 about Brock Turner, be sure to

listen to that one first before continuing on with this one.

So in that episode, I covered what happened in the case.

How 19-year-old Stanford student Brock Turner was charged with the rape of 22-year-old Emily

Doe, who was unconscious at the time.

Two graduate students were riding their bikes in the early morning hours on January 18,

2015, when they came across a man who would later be identified as Brock, on top of an

unconscious female who would later come to be known as Emily Doe.

They were on the ground behind a dumpster by the Kappa Alpha fraternity house on Stanford's

campus.

Brock was charged with three felony counts, assault with intent to commit rape of an

intoxicated or unconscious person, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person, and sexual penetration

of an unconscious person.

He was convicted of all three felonies, and much to many people's surprise, he was sentenced

to just six months in county jail, not prison, three years probation, and had to register

as a sex offender.

So after just three months in the county jail, he was released, and people were outraged

at the lenient sentence.

In the episode you heard from Professor Michelle Dobber, who spearheaded the movement to recall

the judge in the case, Judge Aaron Persky.
