[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a reminder, the jury did not base its verdict on the victim's statement, they based it on the evidence.

All you rape apologists (or maybe it is just a single active sock puppet) that are asserting the evidence is insufficient and we just don't know are ignoring the verdict.  This is not Duke LAX and it is not the Rolling Stone rape story where the process of gathering evidence undermined those cases.  If you are looking for an analogy, this is a lot closer to George Huguely.

The evidence gathering is over, the prosecution presented its case and the jury found that Brock Turner sexually assaulted an unconscious woman.  The end.  It is appalling what he did and no shaming of the victim can change the truth of what he did to an UNCONSCIOUS woman and what that says about him as a human being.

Not moving.
Not consenting.
Not able to defend herself.
UNCONSCIOUS

It was so clearly unlawful and obscene that complete strangers stopped to intervene and chased him down.  Do you know how rare that is?

Yes.  The jury reached a verdict and Brock Turner is guilty and has been sentenced to jail.  He is likely going to appeal.

I only very recently heard about this case and I will agree that to have actual witnesses to the sexual assault and to have them chase the guy down and hold him until the cops got there is very rare.  Brock was clearly seen doing something that alarmed two unbiased bystanders enough that they sprung into action.  That says something.

At the same time I've found myself a bit puzzled by the timeline of events and how quickly this college grad/veteran party goer went from being coherent/standing to completely passed out in an outdoor public place with so much happening to her and around her. And she remained like that for hours. Completely unresponsive.  I remember seeing some pretty drunk people at parties.  I don't remember ever seeing anyone completely unresponsive like that for hours at a time.  So many bizarre circumstances in this case - it does make you pause a bit and wonder wth was happening.  Obviously the jury has heard all of the evidence, sorted it all out and they found him guilty.

From an appeal standpoint I don't know what the grounds will be assuming that there will even be an appeal.  [/quote]
