Cory BateyCory Batey was a college football play eho sexually assulted a girl at a party and was then take to court on rape charges. Batey pleaded that he made a mistake and he didnt want this one mistake to ruin his future at college and a possible football carrer but he was sentenced with 5 year of jail. Many now compare this case with that of Turners as an example of Racial Injustice because their both college football athletes who did the same thing but Turner recieved such a lighter sentence than Batey. When questioned on how he felt with turners utcome Batey stated "Its not right, that girl didnt get her justice " and also felt as though race effected Turner's sentence.
