“It’s a little overwhelming because whatever way the verdict comes down feels so important — personally and for victims and survivors everywhere.” For Harvey Weinstein accusers, an interminable wait for a verdict.
The case is being closely followed by #MeToo activists and Weinstein’s dozens of other accusers, many of whom doubted for years that the film mogul’s alleged mistreatment of women would ever result in legal action.
“If there’s not a guilty verdict, it’s not because they made any assumptions and didn’t do their job ... It would be because our criminal justice system is so flawed.” “While we’re in this period of waiting for the verdict, it’s important to think about how in this situation, there is very little power in the hands of the survivor. The outcome of their case is in the hands of 12 other people,” Palumbo said. “Only the survivor knows how much they have at stake going into a trial. And there’s so much at stake for them.”
