There's a pretty thorough examination of Weinstein and his crimes on Iplayer right now. It's difficult to watch though, be warned. I'm also unsure as to how they can get away with broadcasting such a thing before his trial but I guess all the stuff said is already in print.

 

[elbows]

Guilty! But also not guilty for some serious charges.

The US penal system is a mystery to me, we don't really have crimes in the 'x' degree.

Is this conviction enough to send him to jail?

 

[Edie]

God I’m enormously pleased this sleazy jabba the hut rapist fucker is going down.

He should do so in style accompanied by the Duke of York in the Royal Barge

Yes.

 

[Wilf]

Better get that suicide watch in place this time.

yes, up to 25 years...but first he has another trial in Los Angeles

[SpookyFrank]

Yes.

There are further charges awaiting him in other jurisdictions as well.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Yes.

Good.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Thank you.

Just the beginning, I hope. Lots of LA cases to go to court yet.

Don't understand US law so unsure of the acquittal verdict but I'd imagine it involves hearing some fucking grim stuff. He's going down, though. I'm pleased about that.

Epic fucking fist-bump to all the women brave enough to take him to court over this.

He's GONE down. No passing Go, no collecting $200 for Weinstein.

He's been remanded into custody, is this going to be his first night in prison? I'd like to have seen his face when the verdict was announced, I think the rapist piece of shit still had it in his head until then that a Hollywood comeback was a possibility.

NYT: "The judge then announced that Mr. Weinstein would immediately be sent to jail to await his sentencing. But as court officers approached him, the producer seemed stunned and refused to move. Moments later, he was handcuffed and removed from the room, limping with two officers standing by his side."

yes

 

[Raheem]

Anyone know if he can appeal?

 

[Reno]

Anyone know if he can appeal?

Yes and the appeal is already underway.

Liked cos thanks, not cos I'm delighted.

 

[spanglechick]

So many USA rapists and nonces get away with it because of the ridiculous statute of limitations laws. Weinstein will evade justice in many cases for this reason.

But I’ll concede a moment of satisfaction. Cunt has gone to jail.

A few months ago there was a story about him turning up in a comedy club. The (female) comedian commented negatively, and was made to feel unreasonable by the club owners for doing so. The industry is very good at forgiving and rehabilitating sexual predators.

Well... rehabilitate this, you odious skidmark of a man.

I think that's more or less automatic.

Here's to hoping he doesn't get a lush white collar prison or manage to use his "chest pains" to stay out of jail.

They confiscated his Zimmer frame.

A nice quote in there.

After the verdict, Arthur Aidala, Weinstein’s lawyer, quoted him as saying: ”I’m innocent. I’m innocent. How can this happen in America?”
