Or we can see how this case was turned into a cause celebre by the SJWs and used as an exemplar for "rape culture" because it fit their predetermined metric of Ivy League perp and supposedly light sentence ... but ignored that thousands of people faced similar court cases that day that didn't get the press, didn't get the calls to have the judge fired, etc.

The public went off the rails with this one, clearly, turning it into much more of a torch and pitchfork brigade than anything. Celebrating that the CJS ultimately didn't fold to the public pressure is not the same as being ignorant that rape still happens. In the end, he was a first time perp with no history of criminality, there wasn't even coitus, and she ultimately left the party with him. The sentence fit the facts of the case, and this review bears that out. The public won't be happy that they didn't get their pound of flesh, but shy of hanging him from the nearest cottonwood tree, the public was never going to be happy.
