When Cory Batey was a 19-year-old standout football player at Vanderbilt, he raped an unconscious woman. The ample evidence, including security cameras showing the unconscious woman being carried into a dorm room and cellphone photos and videos of the sexual assault, was clear — Cory Batey sexually assaulted the woman. In April, a jury found Batey guilty of three felony counts including aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.
He was immediately remanded into custody and must serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison.
That's what makes the case of Brock Turner, a 19-year-old standout swimmer at Stanford who raped an unconscious woman, all the more infuriating. As was the case with Batey, ample evidence existed that Turner was guilty. Eyewitnesses actually caught him in the act as he sexually assaulted an unconscious woman behind a dumpster. A jury agreed and Turner was found guilty of multiple felony rape charges. Turner, though, was given a six-month jail sentence and told he could be released on good behavior in as little as three months. He won't even go to an actual prison, but will remain in the local jail during that time.

Let's deal with the facts and not the opinionated op ed.
I couldn't find another source that compared the two cases except this NYDL article.
Can anyone say "white privilege"?
Or is something else going on here before someone accuses me of race baiting???
For the record, I think both of them should have got harsher sentences including castration.
Rape = lose ya balls, in my opinion.

so if race makes a difference in legal matters. Wouldn't that mean that a white person wouldn't get a fair hearing under a Hispanic judge?
Yet somehow, saying the whites don't give blacks a fair chance in a legal system, is somehow not only racist, but that comment shows that you are not a racist.
Trump says has the same theory, he's hateful and racist.
