This (former) judge sentenced a rapist for a max 6 months jail (free after 3 months) based on "lack of criminal history and youth", his family's wealth and the judge's same Alma Mater college had nothing to do with it

We have a two-tiered justice system in America:

1. One for the rich and connected, in which people face little to no consequence for their actions.

2. One for everyone else, in which you are made an example of in order to scare the other peasants into obedience.

What’s even more upsetting is this judge was widely supported during recall efforts against him. He had law professors and the Santa Clara Bar Association backing him, and he even had no regrets about the sentence. Fortunately he was recalled and that recall has resulted in judges imposing harsher sentences

You mean Alan Turner….he goes by his middle name now so people won’t know what he is

Is this about Brock Allen Turner? Now known as Allen Turner because he was harassed so much for being a dirt bag? The Allen Turner that moved to Ohio if I remember correctly?

I love when judges are actually held up and punished for their shitty partisan rulings. Doesn't happen often, but when it does...

Reminds me that there are two hack partisan Supreme Court of Arizona judges that are up for being retained on the bench this year after their shitty ruling on upholding a Civil War-era abortion ban here in AZ. A ruling from a law from the 1850's, mind you, based in part on the testimony of a known pedophile, in a time where people could still legally own other people, and over 50 years before AZ even became a state.

I will be checking that 'do not retain' box this November with gusto.

Like I have been saying, conservatives care more about appearance than anything else.

I mean if he went to jail as a rapist do you know what would have happened to him. He’d have been raped. And we can’t have a system that supports sexual assau…..ohhh I see what I did there.
