Brock Turner, a former Stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman outside a campus fraternity party, is appealing his conviction.
Lawyers for Turner filed an appeal Friday, several news outlets, including The Associated Press reported. They argued the Ohio native’s initial trial was “a detailed and lengthy set of lies,” according to The Associated Press.
The attorneys say the goal is a new trial will help overturn Turner’s mandatory lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender and the guilty verdict.
The original judge was Aaron Persky, who sentenced Turner to six months in jail. The sentence, deemed as lenient by many, brought the case into the national spotlight.
Turner was convicted of three felony counts of sexual assault.
String him up!
He got off easy what the hell is he appealing! He should have gotten 15 years minimum!

No. Just no.
Disgusting!!
He got no prison time and he wants a retrial?!? Let him! Maybe he’ll get an appropriate sentence – like 20-to-life!
Unbelievable!!! ???
Totally delusional and disgusting, but daddy is rich and bought him a team of lawyers so who knows what will happen.
Unbelievable! Sense of entitlement, just unbelievable.
It is unbelievable that someone convicted of a crime would appeal? They all do. So do a bunch who have pled guilty. Hearing appeals from convicted criminals is about half of what any intermediate appellate court does. Which is generally viewed as a good thing, but perhaps you would prefer the “justice” systems run by totalitarian governments?
Creep!
Go to hell loser.
Douche~baggery
The prosecution should be apealing the earlier sentance to get it increased
Presecution should be apealing the original sentence to get it increased
Give him a retrial-this time he will get the harsh sentence he deserves for being a RAPIST! Brock Turner is a rapist!
Good luck in this sexual abuse heightened climate, you douche
What a loser
White rich previledge
Disgusting ! what type of a person is he, first thought should have been to help an unconscious person.
