Weinstein Found Guilty

[retrocop]

Not guilty on the most serious charge on the Statute i.e predatory sexual assault which would be a life stretch.
Sentencing should be interesting.I wonder what's been discussed in the Judge's Chamber!

He's appealing against conviction.

[emmie]

that is what one would expect..

[drmorgans]

But he will be in prison and faces another case in LA.

[Ken4155]

"That is what one would expect"...………….his very expensive lawyers to advise him to do. There's more money to be made from him, yet. They will appeal against the verdict, then, no doubt, against the sentence.

[emmie]

he will be sentenced on March 11th apparently

[Ken4155]

And facing up to 29 years inside - at least that's the figure I thought I heard mentioned on one of the news bulletin's.

jno; //So yes, he did good things. It's regrettable that he turned out to be a monster as well as a film producer.//

I agree absolutely, adding to your list of great movies the fact that he launched the thriving Irish film industry when in 1990 he saw the potential in My Left Foot launching the careers of Daniel Day-Lewis & Brenda Fricker (Oscar for best picture, best director & best screenplay).
He also created MIRAMAX by the way.

[emmie]

whilst being a predatory pervert...^^

[Khandro]

emmie, He may have had a monstrous sexual appetite, but he wasn't a 'pervert'.

[Mozz71]

Honestly, I would have gladly sacrificed his achievements in cinema in order to have saved his victims the ordeals they suffered. And that's from someone who lists Reservoir Dogs as one of his all time favourite movies (and a big Kevin Smith fan).

The way he walks indicates he might be carrying 2/3 bars of gold in his pants.

[Apc2604]

You dont have to be old to walk with a frame and shuffle around. As a disabled person I give him the benefit of the doubt.

[teacake44]

Funny how Rolf Harris had the delicate walk just before he was convicted. I'm afraid throwing a sicky don't work with the courts.

///emmie, He may have had a monstrous sexual appetite, but he wasn't a 'pervert'.///

Aye he was, that’s why he was in court and found guilty

[noun
/ˈpəːvəːt/
a person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.]

Yes he's not strutting around any more is he. Chest pains? Yeh right! Funny how he's suddenly got so many ailments since he was called out.


It appears he now has Alzheimer's.

[brainiac]

It works for some - Ernest Saunders was let out early as he was 'suffering from Alzheimers', then made a miraculous recovery

[royfromaus]

It hasn't been diagnosed but he seems to forget he struggles to walk here.

Walked in like this before verdict.

[lady-janine]

Personally I can't find any excuses for him.

[ladybirder]

Roy, thank you for letting me know he has now got Alzheimers, my heart bleeds for him, poor man. Any guesses what else he'll get before his next trial?

[Khandro]

steg, He was/is a heterosexual male, nothing 'abnormal' about that.

His criminal activities are a separate consideration & that is what he has been convicted on, nothing at all to do with 'perversion'.
