It is the idea, like Epstein, that outside forces are snuffing him out. In which I agree with you, I wish they would hurry up. Anyway, I'm just kidding. He's faking his health ailments to garner sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If it were up to me i'd castrate him. That's coming from a right-winged guy. He will probably get true justice in the showers though, I don't think other prisoners very much like rapists from the documentary's and Reddit's I have found.

nuckin_futz Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Harvey Weinstein Sentenced to 23 Years in Prison CREDIT: Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in a New York State prison on charges of sexual assault and third-degree rape. He will be formally registered as a sex offender. It’s the culmination of a stunning fall for a man who was one of the most influential and powerful figures in Hollywood. Before the sentencing was delivered, Weinstein addressed a packed Manhattan courtroom and said he had “deep remorse.” But he showed little contrition. In a rambling speech he also pushed back at the #MeToo movement, implying that it had gone too far, while talking up his charity work. “I am totally confused,” he said. “I think men are confused about all of this…this feeling of thousands of men and women who are losing due process, I’m worried about this country.” “This is not the right atmosphere in the United States of America,” Weinstein added. Weinstein said he had “serious friendships” with the two primary accusers in the case, Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann. Both women delivered “victim impact” statements before Burke issued the sentence. Haley, who says she was sexually assaulted by Weinstein in his apartment in 2006, told the judge that she was left emotionally damaged by the incident. “It scarred me deeply, mentally and emotionally,” she added. “What he did not only stripped me of my dignity as a human being and a woman, but it crushed my confidence.” Mann, who testified that Weinstein raped her over the course of an abusive relationship, said his abuse had also had a negative impact on her life. “I don’t know how to explain the horrors of being raped by someone who has power,” Mann added. “The impact on the psyche is profound. Rape is not just one moment…it is forever.” As Mann and Haley spoked, Weinstein looked on, appearing to be in a state of stunned disbelief. Afterwards, he apologized to both women. Weinstein was wheeled into court in a wheelchair, where prosecutors urged Justice James Burke to give him the “maximum sentence” of 29 years. His attorneys urged Justice James Burke on Monday to sentence him to the minimum, five years, citing his poor health and advanced age. Weinstein’s attorney Donna Rotunno pushed back at Mann and Haley’s characterization of the former mogul as an all-powerful figure. His wealth and celebrity, she implied, had actually hurt his case. “You have this idea that having fame and fortune and money at his fingertips is positive,” said Rotunno. “But in many ways, having that life and have every single move that you make be scrutinized by the media…shows that there is a pressure that goes along with that lifestyle that is probably not something that everybody would want.” She went on to argue that Weinstein’s role in bringing award-winning hits such as “Shakespeare in Love” and “The English Patient” to the screen had made him a target. “He built careers, and because he’s known as someone who did that, everyone wanted a piece of him,” said Rotunno, who noted that Weinstein was responsible for “80-plus Oscars.” “That is not a small feat,” she said. Haley and Mann were sitting in the front row of the court room alongside Tarale Wulff, Dawn Dunning, Lauren Young, and Annabella Sciorra, all of whom testified in the trial about Weinstein’s assaults. Mann used her address to respond to suggestions by Weinstein’s legal team that the fact that she remained in touch with the producer after the alleged rape. “As his lawyers twist the truth, and even lie, I swore to come here and tell the whole truth, only to be asked yes or no questions,” Mann said. “There is still so much left unsaid about his abusive relationships.” “I wish I had been able to fight him,” said Mann. “I want to remind you I told Harvey ‘no’…I thought I would be able to assert my no and reserve the right to my autonomy.” In court, Assistant D.A. Joan Illuzzi argued that Weinstein’s conviction demonstrated that his money and influence were not able to subvert the justice system. “Every argument that could’ve been made on his behalf was made, and the system worked,” she said. Illuzzi also praised Haley and Mann for coming forward with their allegations. “The defendant would never have been stopped from hurting and destroying more lives,” she said. “Every one of these women represents the strength and fortitude of every moral person who stands up and says, ‘Enough.’” Last Friday, Illuzzi asked the judge to send a message that sexual assault is “a serious offense worthy of a lengthy prison sentence.” She also asked Burke to consider 36 uncharged allegations, including rape, harassment, bullying, and workplace violence, in handing down the sentence. In court, she pressed Justice Burke to give Weinstein the maximum or close to the maximum sentence. “[Weinstein] made movies,” she said. “He got to go to parties…he walked the red carpet and mingled with all the stars…and he held the dreams of many people in his hands…and how did he use that power? He got drunk off that power…the young struggling dreamers were not even people to him…he refers to himself as a sex addict and an anger addict…what is sexual assault? It’s an act of violent assault on someone else’s body that be design, demoralizes them.” Weinstein has been held since last Thursday at Rikers Island, but will soon be turned over to the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Weinstein’s fall led to an industry-wide reckoning in the entertainment business. One that saw other high-profile Hollywood figures such as Les Moonves, Kevin Spacey, Charlie Rose, Brett Ratner, and Bryan Singer accused of sexual misconduct. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/harvey-weinstein-sentencing-1203529333/ *************** He's 67 so the math doesn't look good for him.
