Brock Turner was sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting a woman.
Last week, 20-year-old Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was sentenced to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman.

Judy Woodruff talks to Michelle Anderson of City University of New York for more on the case.
