'
The broader message of this victory is that violence against women is now a voting issue"
'This is a historical moment in time. Women are standing up for their rights and there is a national reckoning.'
The judge, in protest and in an attempt to defend his actions claims, among other things, that this is a bad precedent because he thinks it will pressure judges to adjudicate based upon popular opinion, versus the law.
Except, the DA was asking for 6 years, so the judge flouted reasonable sentencing guidelines, even when taking into account any leniency for Turner's "intoxication, character and personal losses".
