I have to laugh at him with that phoney-baloney walker, designed to elicit sympathy. It reminds me of the plot/trope that every old sitcom used at least once. A person gets into some minor accident or something that they really weren't hurt at all in and decides to sue for big money anyway, so they show up in court with a neck brace, leg cast and wheelchair to look like they were decimated. Eventually they are exposed as being fine and not injured. Weinstein and his lawyers look like they took a page from one of those old scripts, trying to make him look like an old wreck who could never harm anyone. It's transparent as hell.  ;D  :D

Or like when mobster Vinnie “the Chin” Gigante pretended to be insane to avoid the long arm of the law.  ;D

Well, if he doesn't get convicted, he's not out of the woods yet. He already has another trial in Los Angeles and he's essentially blackballed for good.

Yeah, but he's probably got enough money socked away in offshore bank accounts that he won't exactly starve.

Well if he gets off, he and Bill Cosby could make some new movies when Bill gets out of the slam. Maybe co-starring OJ Simpson. They’d have enough resources to do their own productions. And if they were willing to film overseas, Roman Polanski could direct.  :-X

His company shut down, and he's a very well-known pervert, so no.

Things are looking up for Harv.

The jury has been deliberating for four days and is deadlocked. That’s usually a good sign for the defense.

Same as what always happens. Either the jury will render a verdict or it will be declared a hung jury and a mistrial will result.

In the case of a mistrial or hung jury, I wonder if the prosecutor will go for a retrial? ???

Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault. Weinstein was found guilty in a trial in New York last month, finalising a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hollywood's most powerful figures. The 67-year-old appeared in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair.

It depends on what your viewpoint if "separating art from the artist" is.

I'm mixed about it. On one thing, I can enjoy a beautiful piece of work, but then I feel disgusted knowing that the artist has done something heinous.  :-\\

Seeing as he's in jail for the rest of his life, I don't think you're financially supporting him by watching it.

The majority of the films I watch around broadcaster on television, recorded to watch later on, in using that method I am not paying any money.

Absolutely not. His entire body of work needs to be cancelled.

”Let the name of Harvey be stricken from every book and tablet.
Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of Hollywood.
Let the name of Harvey be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time”.
