Voters to decide on recall of judge in Stanford sexual assault case

Aaron Persky could become the first California judge recalled from the bench in 87 years if Santa Clara County voters sign off on his removal in June. On Tuesday, the county’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the recall measure’s inclusion on the primary election ballot after critics of the judge — who oversaw a controversial sexual assault case involving a Stanford swimmer — were able to submit tens of thousands of signatures to the Registrar of Voters. A group of recall organizers, led by Stanford law professor Michele Dauber, clapped and cheered after the vote to certify the ballot measure at the county’s San Jose headquarters.
