Let’s see that’s a custodial sentence so no free pass pending appeal. Buh bye, Harvey.

Nope. Was a total he said she said as far as I know. I think he’s a pig and probably guilty but had I been on the jury I would have never convicted him based on what I’ve heard with no evidence. Dangerous precedent.

“He won’t last two weeks”.

I agree.

I hope he has a 300 pound animal with a bad attitude who wants a new “bride” every night as his cell mate.

Good bet in the DEATH Pool!

Give him some good thick leather shoelaces. Maybe he will spare the taxpayers some grief.

This loathsome turd told everyone to ignore his crimes because he was going after Trump, Republicans, and the NRA.

“Was there any actual evidence that he committed a crime, apart from the accusations?”

His own admissions of wrongdoing were instrumental in corroborating the testimony of his accusers.

His quizzical press release some time back that he denied all of the accusations for his behavior yet was entering therapy for the same behavior didn’t help.

Lol

And I hope a 300 pound animal with a bad attitude will be first in line.

“calling for the killing of Jennifer Anniston”

I had not heard of this. Please elaborate.

I’m unsure how a conviction could stand based only on recollections. Physical evidence is apparently no longer needed to get a sexual assault conviction.

That, to me, is what's so unsettling about this case. I used to think it would be tough to get a conviction based on recollections alone, decades after the alleged fact, particularly when no complaint was made during all that time. That ought to stand as proof against a false accusation, but evidently it doesn't. Somebody accuses you of a crime and suddenly you're at the total mercy of the social sensibilities of a jury.

I suspect that most of Weinstein's "victims" were willing participants, who gave in to his sick predilections because he was a wealthy and powerful man who had something that they wanted.

Walks funny....

Someone here said he tried acting frail for sympathy with a walker and it showed why he stuck with the production and direction side instead of acting. Not convincing.

“The evidence was a lineup of women near and far who recounted some horrific rapes.

Hillary most upset this got out.”

So why is it a bunch of women accuse Harvey and he gets 23 years, while a bunch of women accuse Bill Clinton and... nothing?

“Like Epstein, he knows way to much about to many powerful people”.

Hillary has probably already placed an order on the Suicide Hotline.

Harvey stated in his own emails —from 2 years ago—”many” of the accusations were false. Meaning at least “some” of them were true.
That said, I remain perplexed as to why the prosecution chose the particular witnesses who did testify. One said she carried on an extended “relationship” with the rapist.

OH, a death sentence being that close to the water. It will be inundated as soon as the snow melts and the river rises a hundred or so feet.
