People v. Turner was a high-profile court case involving Brock Turner, a Stanford student accused of sexual assault in 2015. Turner was convicted of assaulting an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, causing serious trauma. The case drew widespread attention due to Turner’s initial light sentence and questions about justice and privilege. Ultimately, Turner was sentenced to six years in prison but served less than three.
