Both are true. Congratulations on coming over to the side of fact. I can't say much about the matter, because I didn't sit in that courtroom and listen to all the testimony, examine all the exhibits. Many very important facts have apparently never been reported in the news, or at least I've been unable to find any reporting about them. The judge knew these facts, though. He went outside of the sentencing guidelines because... why? Defense of male privilege? Really? It couldn't be because he felt it was in the best interests of justice? That he felt it was a really weak case?Ahhh, the rape he intended! You see I can't argue about that. I don't know what he intended. I only discuss facts, not assumptions. With you, it's just the opposite.The contempt for fact demonstrated in this thread and in the media is disgusting. Turner was not tried for rape, and therefore was not convicted of rape.
The people who have the greatest command of the facts in this case are the judge and the lawyers. The lawyers who declined to prosecute for rape and the judge who imposed a light sentence. Naturally it's the Monday morning quarterbacks who are in the right. Enjoy your unearned, fact-free moralizing.
According to CNN, he was convicted of the following:
"Turner, 20, was convicted in March of the intent to commit rape of an intoxicated/unconscious person, penetration of an intoxicated person and penetration of an unconscious person."
That certainly warrants more than 6 months in county.
Well, I guess that Elvis is saying that his failure to carry through with the rape that he intended, warrants some gratis. Good thing he had not brought his Viagra....
Gee, Elvis, I wasn't the prosecutor, judge, or on the jury! I suspect that your beef is with them, not me!
These are the facts that are producing the outrage.
He was charged, and found guilty of intent to rape
He got a 6 month slap on the wrist.
Just curious, what if the judge is recalled, and then the conviction is overturned on appeal?
