Listen I will cheer for what I want to cheer for -- he was found guilty! He escaped being labeled as a predator and that sucks but I was concerned that he would escape without any convictions and that is not the case.

Weinstein is now a convicted rapist. I'd count that as a win. And "criminal sex act in the first degree" is a class B felony in New York, which is a sentence of 5-25 years.

Not at all berating anyone for cheering that he was found guilty. I'm glad he's found guilty too and will be behind barrs. But it sucks that he escaped 10-to-life, especially for the women involved.

It sucks he had to rape so many women before he was found guilty as a rapist -- but Weinstein is now a convicted rapist.

But it sucks that he escaped 10-to-life, especially for the women involved.yes, this was my disappointment too - happy he has two convictions, very sorry that his bullshit and sociopathic lack of remorse and millions on lawyers and stupid walker optics managed to deflect so much. especially in the face of the bravery of the women who testified, for how much this validates the decades of fear from dozens or hundreds of women who have still never spoken out

My entire lifetime as a woman has been disappointment after disappointment about rapists not being held accountable -- cascades of endless disppointment -- a little relief from THAT disappointment, a real conviction for a BIG RAPIST, is really worth a lot to me personally.

yeah true but i guess i thought the sentence seemed "harsh" for that crime considering he was a "first time" offender who wasn't actually holding a gun (not harsh if considered a delayed bit of indirect justice).

it is worth factoring in that Weinstein had basically unlimited money for his defense and he still was found guilty on two charges, including a felony. one hopes the judge takes into account the sheer number of serious, but unadjudicated, accusations when deciding whether to sentence toward the more lenient or the harsher end of the possible sentences.

Brothers, eh?
The documents also contain a note from Weinstein’s brother Bob, former co-chairman of the Weinstein Company. He wrote: “U deserve a lifetime achievement award for the sheer savagery and immorality and inhumanness, for the acts u have perpetrated. Oh I forgot. They were all consensual. Then what are u in rehab for? Sex addiction. Don’t think so. You wouldn’t have harassment, assault and rape charges u have now received, from 82 women for active consensual sex.”

His spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, told Page Six that he was miserable but trying to be optimistic, even though he suffered a fall earlier this week.“He has had a lot of time to think about his life and be humbled, but he thinks it’s going to be a long, uphill battle from here.”

He does have other trials pending, in California, no?Yes, Bob Weinstein who knew nothing about any of it whatsoeverIt seems that Bob knew about Harvey being aggressively casting-couch-y decades ago and had upbraided him (& received promises that Harvey had reformed, especially in his last marriage) but had long disassociated himself as much as possible from Harvey personally (due to H being an asshole in general) and professionally, so that Bob could run Dimension, under both Disney and TWC, without his filmmakers having to fear the abuse and interference that Harvey was famous for.So yeah, he probably knew a bit, and some / lots of what he didn’t know was probably wilful ignorance, but general accounts of working with Dimension in the last 22 years of its existence have indicated that he and Harvey were no longer close at work or outside.

"I really feel remorse for this situation," the former Hollywood producer said, his voice barely audible, as he addressed the court before the sentence was handed down. "I feel it deeply in my heart. I will spend my time really caring and really trying to be a better person."
"I'm not going to say these aren't great people, I had wonderful times with these people, you know," Weinstein said of his accusers. "It is just I'm totally confused and I think men are confused about all of these issues."
