Tag: Sexual Assualt

Those that follow Slabbed on twitter have been teased enough on this topic. I can safely say after looking at the engagement stats nobody has figured out exactly where we are going with this series of posts but I’ll observe that few topics that I’ve researched has lead to so many different rabbit trails with each being worthy paths of exploration. That said I’m convinced there are two bad guys in the Stanford Sexual Assault case. It is also clear the national media is peddling copious amounts of bullshit in the aftermath of the very lenient sentence given to Brock Turner where emotional, knee jerk reactions have become the norm. Sadly some media outlets have stooped to the depths of yellow journalism. One such example involves going after Turner’s family for supporting him which I personally found particularly vile, exceeded only by Turner’s actions that precipitated this whole saga.

If there is any blame to be shared for what follows I’ll share it with New Orleans criminal defense attorney Craig Mordock, whose tweets convinced me there was more to the story than meets the eye. A second hat tip goes to Opinionated Catholic who jumped in on a twitter conversation among a gaggle of criminal defense types that provided me with the proverbial smoking Gun. The bottom line here is if you are the parent of a college age or soon to be college age son, the information Slabbed will be presenting is useful, indeed its vital. On a personal note, researching the issues exposed by the aftermath of Brock Turner’s sentence has included engaging my own soon to be starting in college son on the concepts not only involving showing women the respect they deserve (which we’ve done from an early age) but also the importance of being very choosy as to the type of girl he should date.

Now let’s identify the two bad guys.

First up is Brock Turner, who thought it was a good idea to fondle a dead drunk, unconscious female student. I personally agree with those that contend he should have gotten more than the six months Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky gave him for the sexual assault. That said I do not believe Judge Persky should be recalled and think the entire campaign to have him removed is both misguided and dangerous.

Next is Stanford Law Professor Michele Landis Dauber, who is using the Stanford Sexual Assault case to advance a broader, personal agenda. She is being presented uncritically by the media to the horror of many others in the legal profession, such horror being well founded based on what we’ve found. I thought the speculation that Dauber ghost wrote the victim’s 12 page letter the media and others gushed over for the better part of last week particularly disturbing because of the implications that what we are being treated to is not so much news as much as a sophisticated public relations push to further changes of Title IX sought by Dauber and other “dominance” feminists. You see folks in the entirety of this saga the system appears to have worked well yet Dauber is calling on Stanford to apologize to the victim and this despite the fact our Jane Doe openly violated Stanford’s Alcohol policy by drinking herself into an unconscious stupor. At least Miss Doe was of legal drinking age because Turner wasn’t. Young minds that are not completely biologically developed and alcohol are a dangerous combination.
