Doctors Say Turner May Have Lied About Previous Drug And Alcohol Use

[Initech]

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Brock Turner, the ex-Stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, lied about his history of drinking and drug use when he portrayed himself in a statement to probation officials as an "inexperienced drinker and party goer," prosecutors contended in a sentencing memo.

Turner is serving a six-month jail sentence for three counts of sexual assault, but can be released in as soon as three months. He faced a maximum of 14 years in jail and Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky's sentence has led to widespread outcry and a campaign to recall him.

Turner has also come under fire for the statement, obtained by CBS News, in which he blames his behavior on alcohol and the "college lifestyle." In the statement, he also implies he hadn't had experience with partying and drinking prior to the sex assault.

"Coming from a small town in Ohio, I had never really experienced celebrating or partying that involved alcohol," he said in the statement.

On Dec. 24, 2014, according to the memo, Turner received a message from a friend that read, "I've got a hankerin for a good acid trip when we get back." Prosecutors say Turner replied: "I'm down for sure."

The memo says he responded to a friend bragging about "candyflippin" - referring to taking LSD and MDMA together - by saying, "I gotta [expletive] try that. I've heard it's awesome."

2. wellllll, the judge is a stanford alum and former captain of the lacrosse team. make one wonder

skeletons are in his closet?

5. Dudes relate to other dudes. His heart just went out to the

Promising young man.
I imagine the judge could see himself in the fresh-faced teen. Sadly, not many guys can relate to femaleness--it's too different from themselves.

But after all, every guy can understand wanting "a little action".

4. Just from what you quoted, look like he told his own truth.

Such as it was.

6. What a fucking creep. That gross frat boy gives LSD a bad name!

Seriously, what a jackass.

Ideally LSD is supposed to be a mind-opening experience, fun too, of course, but the drug should invoke and heighten your inner sense of empathy. Guess that means he never had any empathy, anywhere, to begin with.

7. Oh, and GUARANTEED, that rapey creep was only interested in MDMA (ecstasy) because

because of it's reputation of making chicks horny.

We need to look into whether college girls & women in his radius have gotten drugs slipped into their drinks.
