Podcast appearances and mentions of judge persky

In Part 77, Judge Mader details the process behind criminal sex prosecutions, focusing on the complex scenario where both parties are intoxicated.

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 this Court Junkie Brief, I interview Stanford Law Professor Michele Dauber, who led the recall campaign against Judge Aaron Persky, the judge who presided over the Brock Turner case from Episode 58.  We discuss why she decided to start the campaign, Judge Persky's sentencing history, and death threats she received as a result of her efforts.  You can follow Professor Dauber on Twitter @mldauber, and also follow their ongoing efforts to put violence against women on the ballots on Twitter @EnoughVoter. Their website should be up shortly, so be on the lookout for that at enoughisenoughvoter.org.  Please consider supporting Court Junkie with as little as $3 a month via Patreon.com/CourtJunkie.

Case or No Case, Judge Persky Recall, Judge Recall Rules and Procedures

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by LaDoris Cordell, retired judge of the Superior Court of California and former Independent Police Auditor for the city of San Jose, California. Judge Cordell joins the program to discuss the recall of Judge Aaron Persky.   Judge Cordell has been a leading voice in the fight against Judge Aaron Persky’s recall in California. He was recently recalled after he handed down what was seen as a lenient sentence to Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, who was convicted of three felonies that carried a maximum sentence of 14 years: assault with intent to rape an intoxicated woman, sexually penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object, and sexually penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object.   If you are not familiar with the Brock Turner case, click here to learn more.   After hearing statements from both the Plaintiff and the Defendant in the case, as well as the Probation Department Supervisor, Judge Persky sentenced Turner to 6 months in jail.   Read Brock Turner’s Statement to the court here. Read the Plaintiff’s statement to the court here.   Judge Cordell has been leading the fight against the recall of Judge Persky. She explains all the details and information that isn’t being talked about in the media but is so important to fully understanding the impact of this recall. She explains how Judge Persky has been through a review process where other judges review the sentence and determine if there was any wrongdoing; she talks about how Judge Persky came to his decision to sentence Turner to 6 months; and she talks about the potential long-term effects that recalling a Judge, who has done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law, can have on the Judicial Branch.   Join Aaron Freiwald and retired Superior Court of California Judge LaDoris Cordell for this truly fascinating conversation about the Brock Turner case, the recall of Judge Aaron Persky, and the importance of an independent judiciary in the United States.   If you’d like to learn more about Judge Cordell’s stellar career, visit her website: http://judgecordell.com/   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Judge LaDoris Cordell   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.GoodLawBadLawPodcast.com

The Savages talk primaries in eight states, including the recall of Judge Persky in California. Puerto Rico updated numbers and Trump continued train to dictatorship through self-pardon. 

This week, we sat down with retired Santa Clara County judge LaDoris Cordell and Stanford Law School professor Michele Dauber, to discuss the pros and cons of potentially recalling Judge Persky. The call for his recall began after what many criticized as an overly lenient sentence of convicted rapist Brock Turner.

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.

California voters will soon decide whether to recall the judge who sentenced Brock Turner, and conspiracy theories seem to be taking over our public discussions. We’re talking about institutional trust and accountability as well as discussing the brutal realities of gun violence in today’s episode.Thanks to TomboyX for sponsoring today's podcast. We discuss the campaign to recall Judge Persky, how elections impact the judiciary, and the punitive side of rape culture. We also talk about "The Storm" and how the Nunes memo is mainstreaming conspiracy theories. Finally, we talk with Dr. Sterling Haring about his experience treating victims of the Marshall County High School shooting. Content warning: Our conversation with Dr. Haring includes some upsetting and graphic information about how bullets impact human bodies. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode we speak with Professor Michele Dauber from the Recall Judge Aaron Persky campaign.  Why would a group be working to recall a judge?  Many of you have probably heard of the infamous Brock Turner case that took place in Santa Clara County.  Brock Turner was convicted on three counts of felony sexual assault.  Judge Persky sentenced Turner to a 6 month sentence of which, Turner served only 3.  Normally, a 2 year sentence would be deemed the normal sentence for this crime, but a judge does have leeway to reduce the sentence based on a defendant's lack of criminal history and the effect of the incarceration.  However, as you will hear in this episode, Judge Persky has a pattern of being lenient on defendants in sexual assault cases and even in a case involving child pornography.  Community members came together to form a campaign to recall Judge Persky before his next election in 2022.   It is important to note that a recall vote does not remove a candidate from office, it is simply moving up the election date sooner.  This recall effort will require 90,000 signatures in 160 days, but as you will hear, there is an amazing group of volunteers willing to get the work done.

Just an FYI- along with reading, you can listen to this post as well. Simply click the “play” button. In 2008 I had a mentor tell me, “When your blog starts to grow in popularity, stay away from topics revolving around politics, religion, and race. It’s too risky, and one wrong move can ruin your reputation.” She was trying to protect me. Helping me “stay on course” and only talk about personal development. However. For me to go on pretending like nothing is happening, to say nothing at all is unacceptable. How can I tell you to stand up for what you believe in, practice courage, and follow your intuition if I’m not practicing it myself whenever possible? So, here we go... Two major things have happened recently. Let me start with the most recent. Although I highly doubt you haven’t heard, but just in case-- this past Saturday a man shot and killed 49 people and injured at least 53 in a popular gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This is heartbreaking. And infuriating. And scary. If you’re like me, you’ve been thinking about the victim’s families. And like me, you probably can’t help but think about your own family. I think about my children, how I worry about them going to school, and when they get older going to the movies, out dancing, and to places where they normally should feel safe and be safe. Many of us no longer feel safe anymore. When I was in elementary school we had earthquake drills and fire drills. Now, my children have drills on what to do if there’s a shooter in their school. Let me repeat that. In the United States of America-- the land of the free-- my children in kindergarten and second grade, had a drill this year on what to do if there’s a shooter in their school. I’m not sure how to wrap my head around this. So, this isn’t a post about how pissed off I am or how I think you should vote this November. Right now it’s not a time for me to sway any opinions you have. This is a post about what you can actually do. Because I imagine in all of your sadness, fear, anger and whatever else you’re feeling, you also face a feeling of helplessness. Here are a few action steps to take: Here’s how you can give blood. Read what you need to (requirements, the process, FAQ’s), then click the green button to find a donation center in your area. You don’t have to live in Orlando to make a difference. Here is the Go Fund Me page to support victims of the Pulse shooting. You can read more about where that money goes on that page. For more resources like finding a vigil in your area (or adding one), go to WeAreOrlando.org. If you have an opinion about it, contact your state senator to tell them how you feel about gun laws. You can search by state.  You can also find your representative here. If you’re stumped on what to say in the letter, you can find a sample here. (Scroll down a bit). The second recent tragedy is about Brock Turner, a Stanford University student was found guilty of raping an unconscious woman. If this is the first you are hearing of this, please watch this because I believe it’s summed up nicely. He’s been sentenced to a mere six months in county jail, which he will likely be free in three months. There are so many WTF’s about this tragedy, one of them being that Brock Turner has never publicly taken responsibility for his actions, only blaming peer pressure and Stanford’s party culture. Again, this isn’t a post about how outraged I am (but for the record, I am). I think many of you are. And you’re wondering what you can DO about it. Well, here are some things: Take the time to read the letter from the rape victim (known only as “Emily Doe”) wrote to Judge Persky. Her voice is important. Her story is important and it matters to all of us. Emily Doe represents all of us. If you feel he should be, sign the petition to have Judge Persky removed from the bench. And this is a really, really important one. Watch the documentary The Mask You Live In. It streams on Netflix or you can see it for $3.99 on YouTube. The trailer is here. “Whether it’s homicidal violence or suicidal violence, people resort to such desperate behavior only when they are feeling ashamed and humiliated or feel they would be if they didn’t prove they were REAL men.”   - Dr. James Gilligan, Psychiatrist and educator So, why is that documentary so important? We need to do better raising our boys. Of course I’m not saying your boys are bad. I’m saying our culture is not creating an environment for boys and men to express feelings and ask for connection, so it’s on us to create this. As well as question these cultural norms. Although both of the tragedies above are different, they both involve violence perpetrated by men. And many of you are raising boys, or know someone who is, or have some kind of influence on boys whether it be a nephew, brother, student, etc. And by watching the documentary, you’re educating yourself about what’s important and what needs to change. All I’m asking is for you to start a conversation. That’s how change happens. By questioning the status quo, shining the light on a cultural and social problem, and opening it up for conversation with people you care about.
