Episode 256: Crimes on Campus: Brock Turner

In this episode, I’ll cover a case that sparked a national debate and shone a spotlight on discrepancies in the justice system regarding the treatment and rights of survivors of sexual assault. Brock Turner was a first-year student at Stanford University when he was accused of sexually assaulting a young woman. The media portrayal of the perpetrator and the leniency he received at sentencing would fuel public outrage regarding this highly publicized case.  Resources:  Know My Name: A Memoir, Chanel Miller, Penguin Books, 2019.  “Know My Name: Chanel Miller’s Story”, 60 Minutes, CBS, May 3, 2021. https://youtu.be/PTvHn2_0evo “Sentence in Stanford Assault Case Sparks Outrage”, Richard Gonzalez, NPR, June 6, 2016. “Thes Brock Turner Headlines are Beyond Tone Deaf”, Julie Sprankles, Bustle.com, June 6, 2016.  “Sexual assault victim Chanel Miller finally met the Swedish graduate students who helped save her from Brock Turner”, Kelly McLaughlin, Insider.com, September 23, 2019. “‘I Can Always Draw My Way Out of a Feeling’: Artist and Author Chanel Miller on Why Doodling Is Her Essential Emotional Outlet”, Naomi Rea, Artnet.com, March 31, 2021.  “Brock Turner’s life in 2022 – The convicted sexual offender lives and works in Ohio”, Brad Witter, VoxBliss.com, Jan 13, 2022. “The judge who was recalled over the Brock Turner case was fired from his new job as a high-school girls tennis coach”, Ashley Collman, Insider.com, Sept 12, 2019.  Sponsors: Best Fiends - Download for FREE today on the App Store or Google Play.
