MY ATTEMPT OF TRANSCRIPTION:
Brock Turner's six months jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious and intoxicated woman in outside of a fraternity party It is still stirring outrage from critics who say it is not enough.
Witness Karl Frederik Arndt says he was riding his bike when he saw Turner on top of the victim behind the dumpster. "So we call him out and the guy ran away. I heard Peter chase after him and I ran after as well then we detained him until the police came essentially."
"She was unconscious?"
"She was unconscious, entirely"
In his son’s defense, Brock's father’s wrote a letter saying the sentence was a quote “Steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action”. But Standford law professor Michele Dauber disagrees. "This sentence is making all women in Standford less safe because it’s sending the message to women students 'if this happens to you, you are on your own'.
And the protests are far from over. US senator Barbara Boxer is one of more than one four hundred thousand people who signed a petition demanding that the judge would be removed for imposing what they say is a too lenient sentence for an indefensible crime.
