The post that was quoted here has been removedThat is blatantly untrue; there were calls for a recall immediately following the sentencing and that was the main discussion point in the thread.
Turner's sentencing was on June 2, 2016; by June 10, 2016 there were over a million signatures on an online petition to recall him.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner
The post that was quoted here has been removedYou continue to peddle falsehoods, as you almost always do.
I objected to Brock Turner's offense being called "rape" because it wasn't under California law.
Most posters here know very little about the law and are easily swayed by the type of Appeal to Emotion you made then and are continuing to make now.
It's a bad idea to recall judges for supposedly being too "lenient" in a single case in a country with such a high rate of incarceration. Moreover, the Judge's sentence was in line with the Probation Department's recommendation and with California law. If the result is compatible with the law but supposedly too "lenient", the proper remedy is to change the law (which was done). Persky's recall was purely an emotional reaction egged on by those ignorant of the law or having a personal stake in the case.
Your last couple of paragraphs are a ridiculous Appeal to Emotion and aren't worthy of response. No one here ever defended Brock Turner's character or had anything negative to say about the victim in the case. You are perfectly aware of this.
Now, would you admit this statement of yours is blatantly false:
Duchy: In fact, the thread(s) about the Brock Turner case started
well BEFORE any recall was in play, and No1Marauder was busy writing in those threads, fiercely attacking critics of the judge, BEFORE discussions of recalling the judge arose.
One million signatures on an online petition barely a week after the sentencing shows either that you have a terrible memory or were being deliberately dishonest.
Which is it?
"A group of more than 70 defense attorneys, including many who have practiced before Persky, have put out their own petition, arguing that if Persky is forced out for what they consider a “reasonable, fair sentence,” it will scare other judges into giving more severe sentences, a dynamic they say contributes to high rates of incarceration.“When we as a community reprimand or condemn a judge for engaging in such a holistic analysis and for exercising discretion, such efforts can have a chilling effect on judicial courage and compassion,” the letter states. Punishing him, the defenders explain, will “deter other judges from extending mercy and instead encourage them to issue unfairly harsh sentences for fear of reprisal.” The Santa Clara County Bar Association has also released a statement saying that removing Persky would be a “threat to judicial independence.”

Now whether the Turner case was a "reasonable, fair sentence,” is, of course, debatable but the danger of public outcries resulting in removal of judges whenever they impose a sentence that is on the light side of what the law allows, is real enough and likely to lead to more incarceration in a nation that surely needs less incarceration.
The post that was quoted here has been removedWhat you would expect is laughably different than what happens in reality.
A majority of Public Defenders are women: https://www.zippia.com/public-defender-jobs/demographics/
About 38% of all criminal defense lawyers are women. https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Criminal_Defense_Lawyer/Salary
And criminal defense lawyers on average make far less than the average lawyer. Median: $81,457.
Average lawyer: $118,000. https://testmaxprep.com/blog/lsat/average-lawyer-salaries-by-field
Some club of "affluent white men" that objected to Persky's recall.
Reading isn't one of your strong points; yes, I objected to someone being inaccurately called a rapist when the law did not define them as such. Your problem with that is ............................ what?
I regret the decision of the voters to recall Persky, just as I regret many instances of the People voting in ways I find unfortunate. But it was a legal procedure in California and one must respect the will of the voters.
The post that was quoted here has been removedYou keep lying; show me where it says that Ebens and Nitz made the comments you claim they did as an excuse/explanation for their actions.
Short answer: they didn't.
You lied and continue to do so.
That there was and is undoubtedly anti-Asian racism does not prove that Ebens and Nitz were motivated by such (the Cincinnati jury found they were not).
