I hope that if there’s a new trial that it sticks.
What happened to his extradition to California (didn’t know you had to agree to extradition)?
Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was convicted Wednesday of one of the top charges in his sex crimes retrial but acquitted of another, and jurors were as yet unable to reach a verdict on a third charge. The split verdict meted out a measure of vindication to his accusers and prosecutors — but also to Weinstein — after the landmark case was thrown into limbo…
This time, a majority-female jury convicted the former studio boss of forcibly subjecting Miriam Haley, a producer and production assistant, to a criminal sex act in 2006.
Good!
This man seems like presidential pardon material…
Too bad he was a Democratic donor.
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced in Manhattan to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony sex crime in another #MeToo reckoning.
Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years. His 2020 conviction was overturned by New York’s highest court, citing testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. A second jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year.

Considering his health problems he could die in prison.
Very likely. He’s 74, and reportedly had emergency heart surgery in 2024, as well as having chronic myeloid leukemia and Fournier gangrene (NSFW to google this, trust me).
