Answer & Explanation:A former
Stanford University swimmer by the name of Brack Turner was sentenced to
only six months in jail with probation after sexually assaulting a woman who
was unconscious at the time of the assault. “California lawmakers called
it a “shockingly lenient sentence,” and now a bill prompted by
turner’s case is heading to California Gov. Jerry Brown” (Shapiro, 2016).
Under California law up until this case came into the light, a person can rape
an unconscious person and the judge did not have a mandatory prison sentence to
give offenders. In other words a person could rape a person and a judge could
give them the six months and a few years of probation just like the offender in
this case. My question to the class is this, sine the law was not on the books
at the time should the judge be ridiculed for sentence he gave
Brack Turner? This case will help close loopholes in California law book
surrounding unconscious rape victim.
Kamilah Wilingham was at a party with her little sister enjoying
themselves. This could have been my sister or yours, my point is this could
very well could have happen to anyone of us. This law would have send a message
that sexual assault offenders would not get off with just a slap on the
wrist. Those who sit in seats of authority have the power to write legislation
that judges must obey. In other words there should be laws that prevent judges
(like the one in California) from giving short jail sentences for any crime
that are punishable by prison. Although tough sentencing does not
deter crime it would in fact make sure that criminals are off the
streets.
