500,000 people sign petition to remove judge from Stanford sexual assault case

A petition has been instigated by a Stanford Law professor to remove a judge who gave a six-month sentence to a young man who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman.

The professor, Michele Landis Dauber, has publically slated the sentencing saying the judge, Santa Clara County superior court Judge Aaron Persky, has effectively told women "you're on your own".
