NEW YORK -- The judge in Harvey Weinstein's rape trial declined the defense's request that he step aside as jury selection dipped into a third day Thursday.
Judge James Burke announced his decision Thursday, a day after Weinstein's lawyers sent him a letter asking that he remove himself from the case. They objected to comments Burke made when he asked Weinstein if he was willing to got to jail “for life” if he kept ignoring a court order that bars texting in the courtroom.
Weinstein’s lawyers blasted the judge's comments as “prejudicial and inflammatory,” and raised questions about his impartiality.
There was nothing improper about "scolding a recalcitrant defendant" over violating the cell phone ban, Burke said Thursday, adding that he was merely trying to scare Weinstein.
“I never meant that I was going to put your client in jail for life," he told defense attorneys.

Sure hope he doesn’t Epstein himself. Did he know the Clintons by any chance?
And the walker that Weinstein uses is just a ploy for sympathy that his slip-and-fall lawyers made him do.
Embarrassingly transparent.
Bunk beds are in Harvey’s future.
needs a cell with room for his walker and a casting couch
Does Harvey have bunk beds and electrical wire?
Rose McGowan is his roommate.
What an ignorant, fat, pus-faced slob. The arrogance is beyond the pale.
And to think this guy banged Gwyneth Paltrow, Annabella Sciorra, and Jennifer Lawrence.

The world makes no sense at times.
His prison bed will be the casting couch where he can audition for the role of a jailhouse wife of some hardened criminal.
He won’t be a wife. He will be the block whore. Passed around on knee pads or bent over. Dirty creep.
In no way do I endorse prison sex abuse but if it occurs, Weinstein should not be specially treated. Not gentle or harsh but just like one of the girls.
Ein prosit !

indeed.
When the poop rolled downhill, he really found out who his friends were, which is to say, nobody in Hollywood, unless ya count Quentin Tarantino. :^)
I would imagine he would not be the pick of the litter for that kind of activity in prison. Maybe just to humiliate him but not as a main receptacle For some hardened prisoner
Just saying. He’s a repugnant spud for either sex. His power any money was his aphrodisiac
You’ve been on a roll the past few days! Bravo! And, Happy New Year!
....and now, as of this morning, we can add "Rosenstein" to my piece of epic poetry in # 15 !
