Rape, sexual assault and harassment in the entertainment industry

Ugh.

His lawyers had previously asked Judge Burke to give Weinstein a sentence of five years, arguing he deserved mercy for his already ‘historic fall from grace’ and serious health issues.

According to Variety, a seven-page memo was put forth by Weinstein’s defense as they cited his charitable contributions, while also claiming the harsh public backlash should be taken into account. ‘Mr. Weinstein cannot walk outside without being heckled, he has lost his means to earn a living, simply put, his fall from grace has been historic, perhaps unmatched in the age of social media,’ the attorneys wrote. ‘Deserved or not, this is certainly a unique and extremely severe consequence that Mr. Weinstein had to endure, and in the age of social media and given his fame, virtually unrivaled when compared to any other defendant in the state of New York if not nationally.’
 
How's it work over there, straight to jail or is it one of them places where you can get remand while appealing

Edit dunno why I said remand, bail, you know what I mean

Straight to jail, do not pass go etc.

20 years plus 3 to run consecutively means a very, very long time before any thoughts of parole can be made. He's currently 67 years old.
 
i don't mean commit suicide because i don't believe that epstein did commit suicide.

you're pretty much the only person here who posts this 'yawn' wank. it's a mark of immaturity.
It’s a mark of boredom with tiresome conspiracy shite, which is usually not tolerated on here
 
i think the Epstein one gets a free pass cause its true.
I doubt it. Much more likely that he killed himself. An old man not wanting to go through a trial and facing the rest of his life in solitary killing himself is way more likely than shadowy cabal shit

You mean 'took his own life'.

Commit suicide comes from when suicide was a crime, hence you committed it. Mental health workers are trying to move away from this, which further stigmatises people who need no more stigma.

I have also seen "died by suicide" in a few places recently.
I don't have such a problem with "commit" myself, but yeah, is probably not helpful.
