Evidence is continuously emerging from the Stanford Rape case.
Letters have emerged from the victim, Brock Tuner, his father, and friends.
Now a letter from Turner’s ex-girlfriend Lydia Pocisk is being circulated.
In the letter she portrays Turner as a kind and caring individual writing:
“Brock and I have been friends for a bit over 8 years, first meeting in junior high when our two elementary schools converged.”
“After meeting through this, we quickly became friends through mutual friends and then began a closer friendship after he started swimming with me at the Dayton Raiders,
Through our 8 years of friendship, 2 of which we spent dating (our junior and senior year of high school), I have spent countless enjoyable hours with him, alongside family, and alongside friends.”
Pocisk attempts to convince the judge that Turner is a decent human, recalling a conversation the pair had years previously.
“I asked why he had gotten so good at everything he did, and his answer surprised me. He simply said, “It’s not as fun to not be successful or not work hard.” He worked harder than any person I know, in the water, out of the water and in the classroom. With this, it sounds like he could not have possibly made adequate time for a girlfriend, but I strongly beg to differ,” writes Pocisk remembering how Turner treated her.
“He ensured that l was okay and happy in all that I was doing, he helped me learn a lot about myself and about the person I could be. He never once pressured me into any situation or any decision that I didn’t feel true in myself in,” she writes.
Pocisk continues to talk about their time together, during which she supported him at his sporting events.
“The fact I am even writing this letter is something I never saw coming, or could ever imagine, this in itself l believe to speak numbers. You would think a close friendship of 8 years could predict something like this happening, but the type of person Brook is could never deserve this or do anything he has been convicted of in a thousand of his lives.”
She concludes by expressing her anger at God for “for instilling such pain on such an undeserving soul.”
“I have never been so angry with God in all of my life, for instilling such pain on such an undeserving soul. I will forever wish the memory of having to write this goes
away, I pray every day for only the best for my dear friend and I live every day in fear of June 11, 2016, for the best guy I have ever gotten to know may be taken away from me” she writes.
