  • Stanford Rape Case Judge Removed from New Sex Crime Case

    GOOD! He should have his head examined before he gets any more cases!

    They should throw him in jail.

      From what I heard he was a fairly well regarded judge by both prosecutors and defense attorneys before the Stanford case.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        He'd have to recuse himself for now on, it's no wonder he'd have to expect to step down from such cases.

          Here is a similar case in another state. It's not identical circumstances, and a stiffer sentence does seem warranted, but it's how much less freedom the judge had in his decision that makes me think.

            Sounds like he is still.

            Persky, who has reportedly faced death threats in the wake of the backlash has, however, received support from an unlikely source: the public defenders who represent indigent defendants in his Santa Clara county.

            Several have told the Guardian the judge has a reputation for being fair to their clients and his apparent leniency in the Stanford swimmer case was in-keeping with his general approach to criminal cases.
            https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...e-anza-college

            Local attorneys called Persky respected and fair.

            “He is an absolutely solid and respected judge,” Santa Clara County deputy public defender Gary Goodman told the Associated Press. “Persky made the right decision.”

            Criminal defense attorney Barbara Muller, who works two weeks a month in Persky’s court, said he is one of the “fairest judges” in Santa Clara County.

            “He considers all facts and is very thorough,” Muller told the AP. “He plays it right down the middle.”
