Dauber said, at the time, “We voted that sexual violence, including campus sexual violence, must be taken seriously by our elected officials, and by the justice system.” The precepts of Black Lives Matter, too, seemed to support the campaign, insofar as mercy shown to a privileged, white male Stanford student appeared to be an instance of racially disparate treatment. He was successfully recalled, in 2018, by a wide margin. But the emergence of the #MeToo movement spelled doom for Judge Persky. No attempt to recall a trial judge had even made it on the ballot anywhere in the country since 1982, and no California judge had been recalled since 1932. Soon afterward, Michele Dauber, a professor at Stanford Law School, launched a campaign to remove Persky, an elected trial judge, from his job, through a recall election. The Santa Clara County Superior Court judge, Aaron Persky, sentenced Turner to six months in jail, three years of probation, and lifetime sex-offender registration, saying that a longer prison term “would have a severe impact on him.” (The maximum sentence that Turner could have received was fourteen years in prison.) The leniency of the sentence, along with Doe’s viral statement, ignited widespread fury. At Turner’s sentencing hearing, the woman, known in court proceedings as Emily Doe, read a victim-impact statement that addressed him directly: “You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside of me, and that’s why we’re here today.” BuzzFeed published the entire statement, which went viral. Two passersby saw the nineteen-year-old freshman thrusting upon an immobile, partially unclothed woman, next to a dumpster, and restrained him while they called the police. So definitely buy it if you buy a new Kobo, because it is and remains a screen and the chance of cracks or unfortunate children's feet on it are reality.In 2016, Brock Turner, a former swimmer at Stanford University, was convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman outside of a fraternity party. So I shouldn't really complain about that.īut I still complain that I would have liked it if they also had a nice fresh color like the yellow of the Kindle. An e-reader is not a book and a book is not an e-reader. But look, although an e-reader and a book bring the same content. Because now it's just a matter of finding how to hold it. I think it's a shame that Kobo doesn't offer flip-open covers like this, so you get the feeling that you're holding a book. I hesitated for a long time, because I really really really don't like covers (or did I mention that?). (no, an unfortunate touch in the seat, the daughter had not seen it and now there is a fictitious footprint on the screen, so: exit my first e-reader). because of - you can already feel it coming. And because my previous Kobo was unfortunately "trampled" by the daughter. Getting used to that it doesn't open like a bookĪlthough I usually don't like covers.
