Uh, there was another story
that I want to make sure doesn't get forgotten.
Now, this one's about a judge who was, let's say,
a bit too cavalier in his sentencing.
REPORTER:
could have been looking at 14 years
for sexually assaulting an intoxicated
and unconscious woman
behind a Dumpster on Stanford's campus.
But instead of 14 years, a judge has ruled Turner
will only spend six months in jail,
eligible for parole in three months.
Hold on a second.
It's 14 years or six months?
Those are the two options?
There's got to be something in between,
like-like 13 years, maybe?
Or 13 years and six months?
(cheering, applause)
What am I missing?
God.
Or... or what the (bleep)
was wrong with 14 years?
How about that?
So, anyhow, the judge said he understood
the devastation the victim suffered.
Uh, but that the "prison sentence would have
a severe impact" on Brock.
Yes, because if anyone isn't supposed to change
after a brutal attack, it's the attacker.
Brock, man, we're gonna lock you up for a bit,
but promise you won't lose that rapey side we love so much,
all right, man? Don't change, man, don't change.
Now, in California, the mandatory minimum
for this type of case is two years,
and a judge can sentence below that, but why would he?
REPORTER:
"less moral culpability because Turner was drunk
at the time of the attack."
That's a defense?
Was this judge drunk at the time of sentencing?
(cheering, applause)
How... Guys, think about this.
How does "too drunk" work as an excuse for any crime?
Sorry I committed that DUI. In my defense, I was drunk.
Get out of here.
Drunk should never be an excuse.
My coworkers still haven't forgiven me for
the drunken crimes I committed at staff karaoke night.
Right? Still paying for that.
Now, it could be that the judge may have been swayed by a letter
from Brock 's daddy in which he wrote...
"that is a steep price to pay..."
I smell almonds. Am I having a stroke?
"20 minutes of action?"
He describes rape as "action"?
Okay, I've said this before: there's a reason why
we have words, okay?
And those two words are not the same.
Only the most horrible type of human scum
would say something like that-- "action."
Not to mention, you would be the worst movie director ever.
All right, everybody, quiet on the set. Quiet.
And... rape.
Okay, that was bad. That was horrible.
-I know, I know. True. Um... -(cheering, applause)
Actually, uh, actually, you'd be tied with
Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. But...
That's right, I went there.
But... but action-dad wasn't done.
"I was always excited to buy him...
Who gives a (bleep)?
(cheering, applause)
God.
Who cares?
Oh... oh, the poor widdle fella.
Is the rapist too raped out to eat steak?
Okay, here's what's really gets me about this, guys.
It's 20-(bleep)-16,
and this is the best we can do about sexual assault?
I... This is exhausting, you guys.
Like, take this (bleep),
who I haven't forgotten about, right?
(cheering, applause)
Right?
Okay, he's accused of over 50 "actions,"
and we can barely get him into a (bleep) courtroom.
REPORTER:
through the metal detector.
You're not blind. Open your goddamn eyes,
you fake-blind (bleep)!
You're not.
God.
But anyway, I just think as a society, today,
I just think we have to find a way to do better.
