Politics
Aaron Persky, the California judge who gained national attention for his role in the Brock Turner case, was recalled on Tuesday night. Persky is the first California judge since the 1930s to be recalled from the bench.
A full 59 percent of Santa Clara County voters favored the recall, according to a tally reported by the San Francisco Chronicle; 41 percent opposed it. Assistant District Attorney Cindy Hendrickson, one of the candidates on the ballot to replace him, is also poised to win.
