The Stanford Rape Case - Fox News

This particular articular has angered me in multiple ways. One for being that the young man that raped a twenty three year old women unconscious behind a dumpster only got six months of jail time witch is 90 days with good behavior. The judge that gave him this sentence has gotten so much back lash for such a light sentence. There has already been petitions started and signed trying to make him step down from the bench. Over six hundred thousand people have signed and there is even a private congress petition going around for his impeachment. Many prosecutors wanted Turner to revive a minimum of six years in prison for what he had done and the maximum is fourteen years or prison. Another reason that this case has angered me so much is that the Turners father wrote a letter to the judge saying that his son is to fragile for prison and that he shouldn't be sent there because of the " opportunities" he has in front of him and that his son should not have his life ruined for : twenty minutes of action." The fact that the judge can be persuaded by a father trying to justify or make rape seem okay should be impeached and taken down from the bench if you ask me. Rape is rape no matter if its a girl or man doing the action. His son should have gotten at least six years in prison the sentence has not served justice for the young women and her everyday suffering. I believe that this case needs to be re opened and trialed again so Turner serves the right amount of time for his actions social class, race and gender should have no effect on a crime and the sentence you serve and this judged has failed to show that in his sentence.
