Harvey Weinstein, Fair Trial.

[sapelesam]

Probably been discussed already but I may have missed it. Unlikely that any US police force will prosecute due to their criminally short Statute of Limitations laws. Can he get a fair trial in the UK? Can there be 12 men or women or whatever that haven't read what a sleezebag he is?

"Can there be 12 men or women or whatever that haven't read what a sleezebag he is?"

Well obviously you aren't one of them.....

They don't have to be ignorant of the coverage, they need to be able to listen to evidence presented.

Dougie is right....if being aware of the defendant was a reason for Jury members to be dismissed, no prominent celeb would ever get to trial.

[murraymints]

would not like to be on the jury though.... will run and run...

[douglas9401]

If there's a chance that he'll be prosecuted I doubt we'll see him any time soon and the US don't give up their own.
It's a very one-way street with them.

[Hopkirk]

Does he need a trial?

You could argue he has been tried and punished already.

A thread about this gentleman was started ... basically asking
''what is wrong with these women?''

And a cracking best answer on that thread.

Got a link to that thread, Talbot?

This is a matter of women.....sorting the wheat from the chaff......and I must say, as there is plenty of "chaff" out there, it will not be an easy process.

Am I alone in never having heard of him prior to all the recent stories? I'm not a great film fan and even when I do watch one I rarely take an interest in the backroom staff.
