White Rapist / Black Rapist

This is actually a decent discussion topic.  And I find it very sad...

 

JUSTICE IN AMERICA...
Brock Turner, a former Stanford University swimmer (White), got six months behind bars last week for raping an intoxicated, unconscious woman behind a dumpster.
Meanwhile Cory Batey, a former Vanderbilt University football player (Black), is expecting sentencing for taking part in the rape of an intoxicated woman. He faces between 15 and 25 years in prison.

Its beyond contempt that one should receive such a light sentence.

Finally, something we can all agree on.

That judge is now the subject of a recall.

I don't think its a white/black issue, per se, but there is little doubt that money buys freedom.

Wealthier people can hire better lawyers. They often don't have a criminal past that can be used against them in sentencing. They often "clean up" better--fewer visible tattoos and piercings, better clothes, etc...

Nailed it!

Subject of a recall?  Does that mean his sentencing may be changed?

The sentence can't be changed but I believe parole can be denied until the full 3 years are served.

It isn't much but it's something.

 He won't be in jail but a few months.

His sentence is 6 months with 3 years PROBATION.  He doesn't need to get out on parole.  He only has to serve six months...

 Yep.  And if it's anything like here, because it is less than a year, he'll spend the time in county lock-up instead of prison where he belongs.

 No they aren't.  Both colleges are private and have hefty tuition.  Can't tell the wealth of these accused by the pictures.  Stanford is in CA, a very blue state, Vanderbilt is in TN.  Laws and punishments are vastly different.

Corey Batey has admitted to his involvement and has begged forgiveness. That doesn't absolve him. But he has shown remorse.

Brock Turner blamed it on the victim. Brock's father blamed the victim.

One gets 6 months in county jail, the other gets 25 years in prison.

not agreeing with the sentencing in the turner case but the two cases were VASTLY different viz the suffering/exploitation of the victim and the actual events of the crime itself

 It would help if you would actually explain the differences.

A little remorse goes a long way.

Bwahahahahaha...I answered your post. With your logic you answered FNW post so you must be obsessed with her. You really do think an awful lot of yourself don't you flannie?
