Podcast appearances and mentions of judge aaron persky

In Part 60, Judge Mader discusses the far-reaching implications of the Brock Turner sexual assault case and the challenge of determining the 'correct' sentence for a given crime.

In Part 59, Judge Mader offers insight into the impact of public opinion on sentencing decisions and offers the details in a particularly brutal murder case as an example of some of the senseless violence that comes before her court.

On today's podcast Amanda Knox interviews Emily Galvin-Almanza, a former public defender who now works on helping vulnerable defendants and their attorneys get resources to improve the quality of their criminal defense. Galvin-Almanza also works with organizations seeking to end mass incarceration.

In this episode, Guy Hamilton-Smith, Legal Fellow at the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law, discusses his article "The Agony & the Ecstasy of #MeToo: The Hidden Costs of Reliance on Carceral Politics," which will be published in the Southwestern University Law Review. Hamilton-Smith begins by discussing the origins of the "Me Too" movement and how its premises and goals developed and multiplied as it became #metoo. He reflects on the tension between accountability and punishment, and the different ways those potentially conflicting goals are relevant to both Me Too and the criminal justice system. And he describes how those conflicts manifested themselves in the sexual assault of Emily Doe by Brock Turner, and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky. Hamilton-Smith's writing is available at The Appeal and on SSRN. He is on Twitter at @G_Padraic.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Associate Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Stanford law professor Michele Dauber first came to prominence following the sentencing of Stanford student Brock Turner, who was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. Turner received a sentence of just six months from Judge Aaron Persky, and Dauber subsequently led a voter initiative to remove Persky from the bench. Recently, she has launched the Enough Is Enough Voter Project, which is committed to making violence against women a voting issue by actively exposing lawmakers and candidates who have been credibly accused of sexual assault, harassment, or domestic violence, and then working to defeat them at the polls. Also, residents in the 8th congressional district may have recently seen billboards with the website, TheRealDinoRossi.com, on them, and wondered what that's all about. Both the billboards and the website are the work of members of Indivisible Washington's 8th district (and are funded by the Indivisible Project—not in conjunction with any candidate or candidate's committee). We're joined by one of the creators of the content on the site, Tiffany Smith-Fleischman, to talk about educating and informing voters about the sometimes elusive political stances of Republican Dino Rossi, who's running for Congress in the 8th congressional district.

This episode is very meaty. The Hungry Gals open by discussing Kim Kardashian's new career as criminal justice reform advocate. They also touch on Brendan Fraser's #metoo moment. The Feminist Forum update is that Judge Aaron Persky is gone, baby, gone. The Makeup Minute is Supergoop setting powder to keep your makeup from sliding down your face. The Fatphobic Disaster is an insane article alleging that a dirty house can make you fat. The Body Poltics Win is the show Dietland. The FUSBPHHTDWTW is that white people are still calling 911 on black people. Sigh. RIP Kate Spade. Let's learn how to talk about suicide, okay?

In our Wall of Inspirational Women segment, we speak with Michele Dauber, Stanford law professor and driving force behind the recent successful campaign to recall Judge Aaron Persky. She discusses why she felt a recall was the best tool in this situation and why turning your anger into an electoral strategy is one of our most effective ways to make change.

Judge Aaron Persky is facing a recall election in June after sentencing a former Stanford student-athlete Brock Turner to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious and intoxicated woman back in 2015. The Santa Clara County Superior Court judge has remained mostly quiet. But on Tuesday the Judge Persky called a news conference at a private peninsula residence. Today, what are the consequences of recalling a judge? Guest: Jessica Levinson, elections law professor at Loyola Law School.

Brock Turner. January 18, 2015. Stanford, California. Two Swedish PhD students riding bicycles discover a young man on top of an unconscious woman between some dumpsters. They intervene and chase him down. Police arrested Brock Turner, who claimed to have had a consensual encounter with the woman he had been seen with. But an investigation finds that she was unconscious at the time and he is prosecuted. A jury agrees and finds him guilty of sexual assault. Both Brock Turner and the judge who sentenced him faced a public backlash after Turner was given a 6 month sentence. A recall effort is currently underway to get Judge Aaron Persky removed. But Brock and the judge also have their defenders. Did the judge act within the law? Was the sentence too lenient? What should we take away from this case?

In this episode of Aider & Abettor, Avi and Sajid are joined by retired Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Ron Del Pozzo, someone who they both appeared in front of during their public defense careers before the Judge’s retirement. In the first segment (2:20), they all discuss the nuances of plea bargaining in criminal cases including the relative power of judges and prosecutors during the process. The conversation dovetailed into reflections on the interplay of bail, plea bargaining and outcomes for indigent people compared to the more affluent accused of crimes. They brainstorm ways to help level the playing field and to achieve more fair dispositions for all. In the second segment (42:30), Avi, Sajid and Judge Del Pozzo trade thoughts on the trial of Brock Turner, his sentence and the effort to recall Judge Aaron Persky. Judge Del Pozzo shares about what it was like to run for Judge against Persky, his thoughts about Turner’s sentence and his view of Perksy’s reputation on the bench. They question the prudence of the recall effort and discuss the recall’s potential consequences. In the last segment (1:19:38), they each share their “things,” including new criminal justice legislation in California about drug sales priors and sex offenders, the Warriors’ relationship with San Quentin Prison and advice from Judge Del Pozzo on how to counter hate with love. The intro, outro, and transitions are by @leerosevere. P.S. This episode was recorded at the Roosevelt Community Center in San Jose and was videotaped by Chris Knight and Kimy Martinez of StabbyDoll Productions. It was a very cool experience to work with Chris and Kimy. Please check out the video of the episode here: https://youtu.be/N-BYk8bb0_w

Brian speaks to Jenny Bradanini from the Women’s March and Stanford Law Professor Michelle Dauber about their efforts to recall Judge Aaron Persky. Persky is the judge in the controversial rape case of Stanford swimmer Brock Turner. They say he has a long history of giving lighter sentences to athletes and affluent white males.

Recently widespread outrage has erupted over the bias and leniency in court decisions involving rape and the general acceptance and prevalence of violence against women. In California, a judge's decision to give a white former Stanford University swimmer an unusually lenient six-month jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious Stanford student sparked a campaign to have him removed after the victims stomach churning impact statement went viral. The outrage of women has succeed in forcing Judge Aaron Persky to give up his docket of criminal cases. This is just one of the many cases of sexual assault that women have been protesting in the media garnering widespread attention and also raising the issue of how race and class influences sexual assault decisions. Another incident which Black feminists have taken the lead in debating is the alleged sexual assault by actor and director Nate Parker 17 years ago, which came to the attention of the media after his recent remarks about the victims suicide while promoting his new film “Birth of Nation” about the 1831 slave rebellion led by Nat Turner, a film which had been destined for an Oscar. Today we talk about that case and how class and race intersect with issues of sexual assault with  African American Lesbian Feminist filmmaker and writer Aishah Shahidah Simmons.  Simmons directed the groundbreaking film “No! The Rape Documentary.” The post Sexual Violence against women appeared first on KPFA.

Show #133 | Guests: Sajid A. Khan has been a Public Defender in San Jose, CA since 2008. He has a BA in Political Science from UC Berkeley and a law degree from UC Hastings. Imani Gandy, Senior Legal Analyst with Rewire and co-host of This Week in Blackness Prime. | Show Summary: Why has the verdict of one rape trial caused a multi-country storm of fury? The debate over former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner's sentence incorporates sexism, racism, classism, and a clash over how much leeway a judge has in the sentencing process. Angie probes the call for Judge Aaron Persky to step down or be removed, the unexpected reach and impact of the victim's statement, and the appropriate relationship between societal standards and the legal system.

In my professional career, I never thought I would see the day when people would be able to hide their crimes behind their stupidity and wallets. But it's happening right before our eyes, and I'm not so sure we can put this genie back in the proverbial bottle! Affluenza is a 'Coverup Crime' for rich snobs. affluenza - a psychological malaise supposedly affecting wealthy young people, symptoms of which include a lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a sense of isolation. As a legal or psychiatric term, “affluenza” has no standing. But there’s a growing body of research that “sometimes poor little rich kids really are poor little rich kids.” although former Stanford University student Brock Turner was convicted in March on three felony counts—assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, sexual penetration of an intoxicated person, and sexual penetration of an unconscious person—it didn't end up being the justice his victim was hoping for. In total those charges carry a maximum ten-year sentence. Following impassioned pleas regarding Turner's character and his potential Olympic swimming career, now dashed, he was sentenced to six months in county jail. "A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him. I think he will not be a danger to others," Judge Aaron Persky said in his decision. In December 2013, State District Judge Jean Boyd sentenced a teenager from Texas, Ethan Couch to 10 years' probation for driving under the influence and killing (murdering) four pedestrians and injuring 11 after his attorneys successfully argued that the teen suffered from affluenza and needed rehabilitation, and not prison. The lawyers had argued that Couch was unable to understand the consequences of his actions because of his financial privilege. We are now starting to see this as not only a defense against light-way crimes like drunk driving and shop-lifting, but how about rape and murder! So now if you have a bulging wallet, you can also claim that you have a bulging ego that affords you all kinds of leeway to commit crimes. To say the least, I am a little hot on this one... as you'll see on the show today. My guest today, Author Clarissa Star Crystal-Belle, LMHC, takes on the toughest, neediest kids and families in her role as a therapist for troubled children. In this fascinating glimpse into real-life case studies, Crystal-Belle seeks to “awaken the reader to a new way of looking at this population and a more effective way to address their needs.” She is the Co-Founder, Qualified Supervisor and Clinical Director of the Star Point Counseling Center. Crystal-Belle challenges the misuse of specific medications and behavior management techniques. She questions the practices of sentencing troubled kids to indefinite terms in special education.
