CA - Harvey Weinstein trial on Sexual Harassment #metoo *Guilty in CA, NY Appeal*

[Gardenista]

Too bad NY courts are so non-transparent. I really would like to see him cuffed.

What is the difference between 1st and 3rd degree rape under NY law? I'm trying to understand that the jury believed occurred on that charge.

Yeah, me too...and walk without that phony walker

 

[tara83]

Maybe a lawyer here can explain to us how much prison time he is looking at.

I'm glad to know that others thought the walker was a joke. Nothing more than a prop - and not to prop him up. HW hoped to garner sympathy from the jury by appearing frail. What a piece of work

I do not really consider the verdicts to be a dark day for justice. Weinstein was convicted of a first degree criminal sexual act which carries a prison sentence of up to 25 years. He was also convicted of third degree rape which is up to 4 years in prison. I figure he will get at least 10 years of prison time total. At least Weinstein is not "gonna walk" as so many had predicted.

After the verdict was read, Justice James M. Burke thanked the jurors for their “care and concentration” before they left the courtroom. As they filed out, Juror No. 6 stared at Mr. Weinstein.

The judge then announced that Mr. Weinstein would immediately be sent to jail to await his sentencing. But as court officers approached him, the producer seemed stunned and refused to move.

Moments later, he was handcuffed and removed from the room, limping with two officers standing by his side.

Let’s hope it’s the max though...on March 11

I hope Harvey got used to be hunched over his walker because he is going to be in that position a lot in prison.

 

[meanmaryjean]

I have never in my 43 years of being a nurse seen anyone use a walker MORE WRONG that Harvey Weinstein.

I still remain convinced it was a prop and nothing else.

 

[Gardenista]

CourtTV said he has to have an injection into his eyes every day. What could that be for?

 

[jamjim]

The whole walker thing made me cringe. It even had the stereotypical tennis balls on the feet of it for goodness sake. Pathetic!

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Does he still face additional charges in another case?
This is a miniscule bit of justice.

Nah- eye drops methinks. I don;t know of ANY condition requiring daily intra-ocular injections. (I do have a friend who gets them monthly and all I can say is you would have to SEDATE ME for that)

Then onto trial in LA...and don’t forget the UK has open cases on him.
If found guilty in those ...he could serve consecutive sentences
possibly spend rest of his life in prison.

MOO

Cosby-idis :/

What a dark day for justice.

The jury more or less thumbed their nose to the victims, and to the DA by acquitting him on the three most serious charges. He was a predator, and everyone knew it. Well I guess his jury doesnt believe it. Ugh! Money, and Hollywood elitism talks again.

I hope he still serves hard time for years.

Jmho

I'm not sure the jury didn't believe it, but that some of them determined prosecutor didn't prove it.

But, I'll take this verdict because it means he is RIGHT NOW behind bars. I really, really hope the judge gives him either the max or close to it when sentencing. It's possible if the sentence is long enough, it will essentially be a life sentence.

His freedom needs to be taken away for the rest of his life, imo. He's a menace (and so are all the people who enabled him, laughed, and/or looked the other way).

[Inthedetails]

Per CNN: Harvey Weinstein was remanded into custody...handcuffed

Would like to see a picture. Waited a long time for that.

Many thanks to the brave people who came forward to testify against the predator that many people still don't think is a predator.

"[Judge] Burke said that he 'did not doubt the severity of medical conditions' and said he will make a 'judicial request' to jail authorities to put Weinstein in the infirmary."

The infirmary would still be on Riker's Island....not a pleasant or cushy place to be at all.
