Justice ? Or Sleaze ?

I'm surprised the Weinstein reversal hasn't received any attention here so far. 

 

Must put that right.

He's still in jail & gonna be re-tried. I expect he will be found guilty again.

Hi canary - morni' Birdie ! - can you find a ref (URL) to the judgment? -  very American and Trumpie for the outraged victims to say - " the judge in this case is a marr-rarn" to the person ( ad personam ) and not to  the facts

The judge says in this respect - he didnt get a fair trial

[Peter Pedant]

horsefly - diptera - awful things - tend to settle on dog poo and then bite humans. Flutter quietly so you dont hear them

bleeeuch

[Peter Pedant]

took a bit of finding - the NY times report is annotated BUT behind a pay wall

unredacted - it is here

claims that he was judged, not on the conduct for which he was indicted, but on irrelevant, prejudicial, and untested allegations of prior bad acts.

oh - similar evidence rule and bad character evidence NOT allowed in the New York system

and the wronged young ladies whose evidence was heard (but shd not have been) are tearfully insisting that justice has not been done

//He's still in jail & gonna be re-tried.//

Going to be difficult finding a non biased Jury though.

Odious man, but the law must be followed.

[Canary42]

Ho ho ho, the PROB man doesn't get WASP.  The biter bit.

[sandyRoe]

But surely Winestein isn't a White, Anglo Saxon White?

[sandyRoe]

Last word should have been Protestant ^^^

[Peter Pedant]

Yes ! or No! and obviously antisemitic - or am I on the wrong thread?

[retrocop]

Canary,

why don't you shove your WASP nonsence where the sun does't shine?

The start of your insect infestation on this site makes you look like a dung beetle.

[davebro3]

damn right retro - what a d/head with his WASP nonsense (and most other comments IMV).
