TRUTH IN THE Brock Turner Case and Recall of Judge Aaron Persky
This white paper,
- Overview, including seven big lies
- Before, during and after the party
- The arrest, investigation and trial
- Conflicting testimony
- Shortcomings at Stanford
- The aftermath
is a collection of views and personal opinions from alumni and other independent volunteers who have been following since mid-2016 the Brock Turner case and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky…This no doubt will come as a surprise to most readers, but the evidence is mounting that Brock Turner was wrongfully convicted. The facts did not support a finding of guilty and Turner was actually innocent as a matter of law. He should never have been prosecuted for let alone convicted of the crimes he was charged with.
No matter how you might come out on this specific case, there is a critical need for an honest dialog about sex, allegations of sexual assault and the impact of excessive drinking on our college campuses. What happened over five years ago at Stanford University involving a 19-year-old freshman (Turner) and a 22-year-old visitor who already graduated elsewhere (Chanel Miller) is a tragic story for everyone involved. A key theme throughout this white paper is that the intentional distortion by third parties of what actually happened has resulted in a serious injustice, and with little if any critical examination of the facts or about who has been distorting the story and why.
The truth inevitably will come out. It always does. Campus sexual assault is a serious and timely issue. The one-sided and even malicious presentation of this case has worked against the need for all parties to be treated fairly, that there be an environment where difficult issues like these can be openly and honestly discussed and that we find workable solutions. Read what follows and decide for yourself.
