I think this is bullcrap. The law just seems like a word game lawyers play to prevent justice nowadays. |
It's not like he's going to suddenly be a free man:
Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of “Shakespeare in Love” and “Good Will Hunting,” is serving a 23-year sentence at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rome, N.Y. He will remain imprisoned as he was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to an additional 16 years in prison.

No matter what happens with the NY case, chances are still he will die in prison. |

How's that any different to how it was before? It's been that throughout my lifetime and the art of previous decades, even centuries will tell you the same. Justice and the law aren't the same thing and haven't really been since shortly laws were introduced.

If there's still a reasonably good chance Weinstein will die in prison, I'd say that's the best outcome we could have hoped for.
Well, obviously it would have been better if he hadn't been such a monster to begin with! |

I'm not into revenge or deliberately inflicting pain on anyone, no matter how terrible they are. But, I've got to admit, if he had dropped dead a few hours after he was given some hope that he might one day get out of prison, that would have felt pretty perfect. |

I can see DT pardoning him :(

That's not how pardons work.

Please stop the absurdity. A president cannot pardon anybody for state crimes. It's just that simple.

I think this is bullcrap. The law just seems like a word game lawyers play to prevent justice nowadays. Weinstein is famously completely repulsive, but this was absurd. |
It most definitely was not.

New York is notorious for lower court judicial misconduct corrected at the appellate level. Prosecutors concoct criminal actions with no basis in law which lower court judges then rubber stamp. Lives are destroyed, but the higher court then offers relief. This has been going on forever. It's as disgusting in its own way as is Weinstein's alleged behavior. |
