    After the rapist Brock Turner was given a slap on the wrist, California passed mandatory sentencing for rape.

    He was accused of 3 rapes but convicted of 2. He received the maximum sentencing for each.

    His lawyers are likely going to fight the conviction constantly until the money runs dry.

    My personal thought is the conviction is unlikely to be overturned but a sentence reduction is likely. So he got the maximum sentence. Danny will likely be behind bars for at least 6-10 years for his crimes.

      You do mean Brock Allen Turner, who was a student at Standford and was convicted of rape from an incident on January 18, 2015?

      I hate to be wrong on that we’re talking about two different Brock Allen Turners.

        That’s the right Brock Turner who was sentenced to 6 months and was released after 3 months. Judge Aaron Persky thought a longer sentence would unduly harm the rapist, Brock Allen Turner.

        I think they’re referring to THE RAPIST BROCK ALLEN TURNER who raped an unconscious girl in an alley. I heard he moved to Ohio and goes by his middle name. So THE RAPIST ALLEN TURNER

        Didn’t rapist Brock Turner change his name or something?

          The rapist Allen Turner is the same person. Yes. Allen Turner is a rapist.

      California passed mandatory sentencing for rape.

      I knew about Brock Turner, but I didn’t know California passed new laws as a result. Do you mean mandatory minimum sentences? Or was the maximum raised too? Would 15 years have been illegal for Turner, but is legal for Masterson?

      6-10 years for his crimes.

      6-10 years is more what I would have expected given his fame and wealth. I wouldn’t have been surprised at 15. But, 30 to life seems more like what I’d expect from a second-degree murder sentence for someone with a criminal history, not rape by a rich white Hollywood celebrity.
