RE: No Weinstein thread yet? / HOLLYWOOD & ORGANIZATIONAL SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

[HairOfTheDog]

the judge in New York sentenced him to 23 years today.

He still faces charges in Los Angeles as well.

Excellent to read. 

Before the sentencing, the defense read a statement positioning Weinstein as a victim of poor health and #MeToo, and someone who donates a lot to charity.  They argued that he therefore deserved mercy in the sentencing.

Well, the judge's job is to sentence the convict for the crimes he committed against the real victims and that's what he did. 

Predictably, Weinstein's defense attorney just held a press conference claiming that the jury caved, the judge was corrupt, and the sentencing was ridiculous and obscene.
