SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Brock Turner, the former Stanford University swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting a young woman on campus, was handed a package by guards as he exited a California jail on Friday after serving half of his six-month sentence: A big packet of hate mail.
…Following Turner’s release from jail, Sheriff Laurie Smith said she believed his sentence was too light. “He should be in prison right now, but he’s not in our custody,” she told reporters.
Smith said jail guards gave Turner a big package of hate mail sent to him over the last three months and that Turner lived in protective custody in jail after receiving threats.
She also urged Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill passed by California Assembly that would require harsher punishment for the same crime Turner committed. Brown hasn’t said whether he will sign it.
“The law has to be that if you rape someone who is unconscious and intoxicated you go to state prison,” she said. “And that bill is on the governor’s desk right now, and we’re urging the governor to sign it.”

Now there’s some mob bullying I can get behind.
I like the sound of that Sheriff, which is no small thing for me to say.
