Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was under intense scrutiny today before an all-female bench of appeals court judges in New York
’s 2020 rape conviction was under intense scrutiny today before an all-female bench of appeals court judges in New York.
“Let’s put in as much as we can to show this guy is a terrible guy,” Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels said to Assistant D.A. Valerie Figueredo at today’s hearing of the case constructed almost two years ago against Weinstein. “He doesn’t get convicted for being a bad guy,” another Justice went on to exclaim of the trial that saw other accusers of the widely-accused producer take the stand and a slew of decades of very bad behavior on Weinstein’s part put in the spotlight.
Still suffering from a litany of health issues that have seen him in and out of hospitals and other medical facilities, plus a bout with Covid-19 while being held in upstate New York, the now 69-year old Weinstein was sentenced to more than two decades in prisonby New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke. After some tugging back and forth, Weinstein was finally extradited to LA last summer for the West Coast case.
