Brock Turner Set for Early Release: A Disturbing Reminder of Justice System Failures
Charged with five felonies, including rape of an intoxicated person and assault with intent to commit rape, Turner was released on a $150,000 bail. Ultimately, he was convicted on three counts: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, and penetration of both an intoxicated and unconscious individual. The judge, in a move that shocked many, sentenced him to a mere six months in jail, despite the possibility of a 14-year sentence. Thanks to good behavior, he only had to serve three months, which he has done.
That’s right! Brock Turner, a convicted rapist, will walk out of a county jail just in time for a cozy Labor Day weekend with his family. Speaking of family, let’s not forget the infamous letter from Turner’s father, who lamented over his son’s lost appetite since the incident, expressing how heartbroken the whole family was—while conveniently neglecting to mention the victim or show any remorse for their son’s actions.
Judge Mark Thompson, who presided over the case, stated that a harsher punishment would have a “severe impact” on Turner. A severe impact? Let’s just say, it’s not exactly a common concern for the justice system to worry about the feelings of a rapist. “I noticed he was smiling,” recounted a witness, who couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation, “I said, ‘Why are you smiling? Stop smiling.’”
This ongoing saga is a stark reminder that we must instill the value and worth of our daughters, because, clearly, the justice system isn’t doing it for us.
