Withholding

Time has an article and a video by Emma Ockerman about jurors refusing to work for Judge Aaron Persky:

At least ten prospective jurors are now refusing to serve the judge who sentenced Brock Turner, a former Stanford University swimmer sentenced to six months in jail last week for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman on campus and sexually penetrating an intoxicated and unconscious person with a foreign object. Prosecutors recommended that Turner be sentenced to six years in prison, but Judge Aaron Persky handed down a sentence of six months, saying a longer sentence would have a “severe impact” on the twenty-year-old. Supporters of the victim have harshly criticized the sentence as too lenient, and a Stanford law professor is leading a recall campaign against Persky.
While lawyers were selecting jury members for Persky’s new case, which is unrelated to Turner, prospective jurors told Persky that “I can’t believe what you did,” and “I can’t be here, I’m so upset,” according to the San Jose Mercury News. In each case, Persky replied with “I understand” and excused the upset juror.
If jurors continue to protest being assigned to Persky’s cases, it could cause problems by prolonging the jury-selection process, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
