Prospective Jurors Boycott Judge Aaron Persky As 1 Million People Demand His Recall
“I can’t be here, I’m so upset,” one prospective juror reportedly told Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky on Wednesday.
“I can’t believe what you did,” said another.
These two individuals were among several prospective jurors who reportedly refused to serve under Persky in a misdemeanor stolen property case.
Persky is the judge who presided over Brock Turner’s sentencing for sexual assault.
The East Bay Times said at least 10 prospective jurors declined to serve in the unrelated case. KPIX-TV said the number was double that, and the jurors cited the judge as a hardship.
