Learn the many ambiguities in the Brock Turner case, according to Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-break-the-ice\/\">Talking to Strangers<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The <strong>Brock Turner<\/strong> Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 18, 2015, two graduate students witnessed a young man, Brock Turner, lying on top of a young woman (referred to here as Emily Doe) on the ground near a dumpster. The two men observed that Turner was thrusting on top and Emily was completely still underneath. Alarmed, they asked Turner what was going on. Turner turned and ran. The two men followed Turner and tackled him.&nbsp;This was the start of the Brock Turner case.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Doe was lying near the dumpster, unconscious, with one breast revealed. Her skirt was around her waist and her underwear had been removed. She woke up in the hospital oblivious to what had happened. She was told that she had been the victim of sexual assault.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nuances of the Brock Turner Case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most sexual assault cases rely on witnesses to help solidify the victim\u2019s allegations. But in Brock Turner\u2019s case, there were no available witnesses other than the two graduate students who tackled Turner. All of Emily\u2019s friends at the party had gotten too drunk and had to leave. Turner\u2019s friend was too drunk to even make it to the party. So Turner\u2019s account was the only one heard in the case. By his account, Emily Doe had consented to their encounter by the dumpster.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But California law states that someone cannot be considered to have given consent if that person was unconscious or so intoxicated that they couldn\u2019t adequately resist. This means that the person must\u2019ve been <em>so<\/em> intoxicated that they couldn\u2019t make a reasonable judgment or make sense of their surroundings.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So really, <strong>the case against Brock Turner would be determined by the degree of Emily Doe\u2019s intoxication.<\/strong> Was Doe a consensual partner in the sexual activity, or was she incapable of consent based on her level of drunkness?&nbsp;Gladwell sees this as a critical question in the Brock Turner case.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Intoxicated Was Emily Doe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When she arrived at the party that night, Emily Doe was already drunk. She left a voicemail for her boyfriend just after midnight, in which she sounds incoherent. Her voice certainly didn\u2019t sound like the voice of someone capable of making reasonable judgments. By the time of the incident, Emily Doe had a blood alcohol level of .249\u2014nearly four times the legal limit. She has no memory of even meeting Brock Turner.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brock Turner\u2019s blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit at the time of the incident\u2014enough to be considered blackout. At trial, he claimed to remember everything that happened between him and Emily Doe that night. But on the night of his arrest, his memory wasn\u2019t at all clear. When asked why he ran away from the scene, Turner said that he didn\u2019t remember running or being tackled. He said, \u201cI think I was kind of blacked out.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So everything about the story that Turner told in his trial was made up\u2014it was wishful thinking. This is a huge problem for the Brock Turner case. It is impossible to know what actually happened that night because Brock Turner, Emily Doe, and almost everyone they knew at that party was in a state of blackout.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, Brock Turner was convicted of three felonies associated with sexual assault and sentenced to six months in prison. For the rest of his life, he will be a registered sex offender.&nbsp;This was the outcome of the Brock Turner case.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might wonder <em>how <\/em>a seemingly harmless interaction on the dance floor ended in such a horrible crime. The answer is that <strong>alcohol and assumption of transparency is a dangerous combination when interacting with a stranger.<\/strong> Remember, drunk people are in a state of myopia in which their behavior is directly influenced by their environment. That night, Emily Doe and Brock Turner\u2019s environment was a fraternity party dedicated to binge-drinking and sexual dancing. And both Emily Doe and Brock Turner were in a state of blackout, meaning that they were completely out of touch with the consequences of their actions.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Brock Turner Case: <strong>What Is the Solution?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The night that he met Emily Doe, Brock Turner had to make sense of a stranger\u2019s sexual desires. He assumed that her behavior was transparent, which is an incredibly flawed system to begin with. But when both parties are young, immature, and drunk, it is impossible. That\u2019s why there is such a prevalent pattern of sexual assault on college campuses.<em> But how do we stop it?<\/em>&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a letter to Brock Turner, Emily Doe expressed that she wanted to see programs set up to raise awareness of sexual assault and teach men how to respect women to prevent sexual assault in the future.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his own statement, Brock Turner said that he hoped to set up a program to speak out against the college culture of binge-drinking and sexual promiscuity to prevent sexual assault in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But in reality, shouldn\u2019t we hope for both? <strong>It is important to teach young people how to respect each other <em>and <\/em>how to drink less. The two problems are connected.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brock Turner case outraged many.
