	In 2016, Persky gained national attention after his ruling in the case People v. Turner, in which he sentenced Stanford University student [[Brock Turner]] to six months in jail for the sexual assault and attempted rape of an unconscious 22-year-old woman, Chanel Miller, using the sentence recommended by the Santa Clara County Probation Department.
