Instead, he blamed alcohol and the party culture at the elite Palo Alto, California university for landing him behind bars, according to a statement the 20-year-old read before a judge at his sentencing hearing last week. The statement, obtained by the Guardian and published on Wednesday, echoes the victim's concerns that Turner doesn't understand that what he did was wrong and that he needs to face up to the consequences.

So he’s a victim.

Is everyone a victim nowadays? Is anyone responsible for their own personal behavior?

Stanford is the land of the Recovering Nerd.

Too much booze makes recovery much harder.

The father seems to suffer the same myopia. Twenty minutes of ‘activity’. By that reasoning someone who shoots someone in a single minute would get a shorter sentence.

Oh' Wait...

You know, back in the day I drank a little too much but someone managed to resist the urge to brutally rape someone and stick object in her... maybe i’m just a different person.

Looks to me like his life was ruined by having an unaccountable GOPe father who passed on his “values”.

Stanford is the land of the Recovering Nerd.

speaking of recovery, the Iowa football program should file suit against Stanford as a result of accepting a bid to the Rose Bowl..

I’ve had a few drinks in my life. Never thought about raping a helpless girl before, during, or after.

Er, the purpose of the justice system is to protect society, not to achieve a personal epiphany. Most people in prison don’t believe they ever did anything wrong in their entire lives. That’s why they are in prison. They only say they have remorse to get parole so they can continue their attacks on decent people.

I’d be willing to bet the father would be all in for more than 3 months in county jail for the perp if he had been anally raped for “only twenty minutes”.
