Too bad that 1.2 million signature recall petition can't be used against him.
"A California judge who has faced withering criticism for giving a lenient sentence to former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner in a sex assault case has been removed from another sex case.Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen blocked the transfer of the new sexual assault case to Judge Aaron Persky, who is the subject of a recall petition, several media outlets reported Tuesday.
Persky was briefly transferred a case to decide whether a former San Jose nurse should stand trial on charges he sexually assaulted a patient while she was sedated.
The move comes days after several potential jurors told the judge they couldn’t serve on a jury in his courtroom because of the Turner sentence. Persky was bumped from the new sexual assault case a day after he tossed out an unrelated misdemeanor theft trial before it went to a jury, ruling prosecutors hadn't proved their case.
