Survivor Chanel Miller spoke out about her ordeal ahead of the upcoming release of her memoir 'Know My Name.'
As well as comments from readers online, Miller said she had also been shocked by media coverage itself, which saw Turner repeatedly described as a star athlete at Stanford—coverage of his swimming ability appearing to dwarf the crime he had committed.
"They were framing it like he had so much to lose and were not focusing on what had already been lost, for me." she added. "I was in shock. So you're saying I just put aside a year and a half of my life so he could go to county jail for three months. There are young men, particularly young men of color, serving longer sentences for non-violent crimes, for having a teenie-weenie bit of marijuana in their pockets. And he's just been convicted of three felonies. And he's gonna serve one month for each felony. How can you explain that to me?" she said.
