Isn’t family law part of civil court? So, he’ll be able to serious damage to women and children while protecting rapists and child abusers.

If it were across the board, I might agree with you, but his sentencing differs on your skin tone. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/j…

Part of the problem is that quite often rape isn’t seen as a violent crime. That was certainly true in this case: apparently vaginal abrasions and a scene so disturbing that one of the cyclists that found Turner and his victim could barely talk about what he saw because he was crying too hard. Yet Turner, who was…

“I see you’re a first time murderer, I rule that boys will be boys...”

The part that made me want to stab him in the dick was that the reason he wanted to be lenient on this case was that the accused was going to give up drinking.

He actually argued that it was the alcohol that made the man download all that child porn!!

Umm, 97% of rapists will never see a day in jail. When they finally bothered to test all those tens of thousands of untested rape kits, they found a large number of serial rapists, and even some serial killers. Society already treats rape like the woman is always lying. It discourages women from speaking out, so the…

I do appreciate the thought. But sex crimes don’t deserve the light sentence. There is some data that supports non-Recidivism.

Violent crimes like rape deserve punishment. This isn’t a mistake like being caught with a joint or stealing a few CDs. A person caused phyiscal injury (not to mention the emotional and mental anguish) to another. Let’s start with non violent offenders first considering we rarely punish rapists in the first place.

Even when your first offense turns out to be rape or possession of child pornography? Because those are pretty serious offenses. It’s one thing to be lenient in sentencing for minor or relatively minor crimes like vandalism or theft where rehabilitation is likely with proper help, but serious crimes should get serious…

It really doesn’t matter, the problem with selective empathy for rich white defendants is a systemic one, and society’s attempts to personalize it by making it all about Persky have already gone a long way to making sure most of the public sentiment that was mobilized won’t be going to address the root problems.

The actual Judge Persky just in case my comment makes no sense.

Judge Persky: “A man raped a woman and caused her to suffer ongoing trauma? Inconceivable!”

A photo of Judge Persky with a rape victim. What a prick.

Well I mean they were photos of exploited, abused girls so you know, no big deal.

Came here to say pretty much this.

Michele Dauber is right. He can do just as much damage to women in civil court. Get him off the bench.

Earlier this week, Persky recused himself from a child pornography case in which he had been considering reducing the defendant’s felony conviction to a misdemeanor.

Not Good enough. Not even close.
