Brock Turner juror to judge: 'Shame on you'

Original post made on Jun 13, 2016

"Absolutely shocked and appalled" -- that's the reaction of a juror in the Brock Turner sexual-assault case to the sentence handed down by Judge Aaron Persky on June 2. The male juror, speaking publicly for the first time, delivered a cutting letter to Persky on Saturday stating, "This punishment does not fit the crime."

Bravo, sir. Thank you for speaking up. And thank you, too, for your jury service. I'm sorry that your adopted country has given you cause for doubt so early in your citizenship; I hope we all can do better in the future.

Well...... It took this young man's lenient conviction to make a public debate about the unfairness of "Privileged" leniency . What about all the people who have been been given extreme or unfair sentencing for those coming from under resourced , poorly educated communities? Thank you Barack Obama for making the unfair sentencing of our people public and how we get life-time sentencing for a dime of cannabis or a minimally corrective mistake.

you're absolutely right except for one thing. Your hero Obama directed his justice department to go after cannabis dealers, especially those dealing medical cannabis. Obama isn't the hero you think he is. He's the opposite of the same corrupt coin that infects politics. He'll do whatever is politically expedient.
