Brock Turner is already out of prison, having served 3 months of his 6 month conviction for raping an unconscious woman.<\/p>\n

Turner, who apparently has plenty of money to spend, objects to having to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, and so is paying for an appeal to overturn his conviction and get a new trial.<\/p>\n

Turner, then 19, was arrested in 2015 after two of his fellow students at the Northern California university saw him outside of a fraternity house on top of an unconscious woman. He was convicted of sexual assault the following year.<\/p>\n

Turner’s lawyer, Eric Multhaup, said in papers filed on Friday in a California appeals court that the initial trial was “a detailed and lengthy set of lies.” He argued that a prosecutor in the trial incorrectly told jurors the sexual assault occurred behind a trash bin.<\/p>\n

The woman Turner was convicted of sexually assaulting, was found near a garbage enclosure but not behind a trash bin, according to Turner’s appeal. Multhaup said that implying otherwise gave the impression Turner tried to hide his activities with the woman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The judge who gave him a 6 month slap on the wrist (3 months with good behavior) suggested that he had to consider “rehabilitation and probation for first-time offenders.” Turner apparently is not particularly rehabilitated.<\/p>\n

Ironically, given that the sentence was lambasted as terribly light, if Turner succeeds in his appeal and in getting a new trial, he could actually end up serving more time.<\/p>\n

Or, alternately, his lawyer could then claim that he can’t get a fair trial. It won’t give him back the whole three months (sob) he served in prison, but it would get him off from having to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n
